Work for landlords and builders

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.

How to look after the repair

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Never put hot pans down directly
  • Keep joints and edges dry
  • Do not cut directly on the worktop
  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone

Let the repair cure for the time we give you before putting anything heavy or hot on it. After that, trivets and chopping boards are your best protection.

A chip on an edge can grow, and on laminate, water can get into the core. An early repair prevents it.

10 questions to ask before booking

Repairs by material

Wood

Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, with burns and dents put right.

Quartz

Quartz worktops are mostly stone set in resin. We fill and polish chipped edges to match the sheen.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

When a repair is not the answer

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:

  • Water-swollen laminate
  • Failed support under the worktop
  • Discolouration deep in quartz

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

Gordon: your questions answered

What do you need from me?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

Can a quartz edge be fixed?

Yes. Chips on edges and around the sink are very common repairs, matched and polished.

Will the price change on the day?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

How much does worktop repair cost in Gordon?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

How it works

There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, including clearing up.

  1. The area around the damage is protected.
  2. We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
  3. It’s filled and levelled with the surface.
  4. The colour and pattern are built up by hand.
  5. We seal and polish it to the right sheen.

Preparing for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

What affects the price in Gordon

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The size and number of damaged areas

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Send photos for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • One picture of the whole worktop
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Details of any past repairs

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire worktop, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
