How it works

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We start by checking the damage and the worktop material.
  2. We clean the area and prepare the edges of the damage.
  3. We fill with a filler suited to the material and rebuild any missing edge.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The surface is sealed or finished to suit the worktop.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

FAQs for Gislingham

Will the price change on the day?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Is there a call-out fee?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.

Will the repair match a patterned worktop?

We match colour, flecks and veining by hand, for a repair that blends in.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Do I need to clear the kitchen?

Just near the damage. You can generally still use the rest of the kitchen.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

What information do you need?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

When we would advise against a repair

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
  • Through cracks in stone that is moving
  • A top that moves on its units

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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

Landlord and trade work in Gislingham

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details.

What your worktop is made of matters

Quartz

Quartz is hard, but its edges are brittle. Chips are filled with tinted resin and polished to the worktop’s finish.

Laminate

A laminate worktop is a thin decorative layer on a board. We fill damage and paint in the pattern by hand.

Should you replace it?

Even if you could get the same laminate, it may not match after years of light and use. We match the repair to your worktop as it is today. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Gislingham. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why us?

  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • Colour-matched on site
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

See our prices page.

10 questions to ask before you book

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How much damage there is
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Quotes from your pictures

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A wider photo showing the entire worktop
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Aftercare tips

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
  • Chopping boards prevent scratches
  • Don’t knock pans against the edge
  • Oil wooden tops regularly

Keep joints and the sink edge dry, particularly with laminate and timber.

Edge chips can get bigger, and water can reach the core of laminate. Repairing it early stops that.
