About our worktop repair in Gipsy Hill

A worktop repair is carried out in your kitchen. Most jobs take a few hours, and you can use the worktop again shortly afterwards. We’re often asked to fix scorch marks from pans and snagging damage in a new kitchen, on solid wood, solid surface (such as Corian) and laminate.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Repair or replace in Gipsy Hill?

Swollen or badly damaged laminate may need replacing. For chips, burns and scratches, repair is normally far better value. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

When to call us in Gipsy Hill

Worktops take more punishment than anything else in the kitchen. Hot pans scorch, knives leave scratches, and edges chip when heavy pans or tins hit them.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • Snagging damage in a new kitchen
  • A dent from a dropped pan
  • Scratches and knife marks
  • A chipped edge

What to look for in a quote

  • How soon you can use it again
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • How to care for the finish

10 questions to ask before you book

Keeping it looking good

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Do not knock pans against the edge
  • Oil wooden tops regularly
  • Steer clear of strong cleaners
  • Never put hot pans down directly

Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe up spills promptly, and keep wooden tops oiled.

A chip on an edge can grow, and on laminate, water can get into the core. Repairing it early stops that.

What happens on the day

You don’t need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. It usually takes a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
  2. We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
  3. We fill it and level it with the worktop.
  4. The colour and pattern are built up by hand.
  5. We seal and polish it to the right sheen.

Before we arrive

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Advice

Landlords, agents and businesses in Gipsy Hill

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Gipsy Hill use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Honest limits

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

  • A cracked stone top that is unsupported
  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
  • Severe heat marks in quartz

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

Surfaces we repair

  • Solid wood
  • Laminate
  • Quartz
  • Solid surface (such as Corian)
  • Granite & marble

What worktop repair costs

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Gipsy Hill. The price reflects:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The type of damage
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Access to the area

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Getting a price from pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any details about the material
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Details of any past repairs

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Common questions in Gipsy Hill

How soon can you come?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire worktop and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We come back with a fixed quote, normally with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.

Do I need to clear the kitchen?

Just near the damage. The rest of the kitchen stays usable.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
