Landlord and trade work in Goring
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
For anyone letting property in or around Goring, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.
How we handle worktop repair in Goring
Different worktops need different repairs: we fill and pattern laminate, fill and polish quartz and stone, and sand and refinish wood. We always aim for a repair that blends in. Whether it’s dents and gouges and damage around the sink cut-out, we can generally put it right.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- Doing more than one item at once
- What kind of damage it is
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material and finish
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book.
How to get a fixed quote
Phone photos are fine. Just make sure we can see:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The material, if you know it
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
If you are in Goring and want a price, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Different materials, different repairs
Wood
Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, with burns and dents put right.
Solid surface
Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so scratches and burns can often be sanded out and refinished.
How to look after the repair
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Always use a trivet for hot pans
- Wipe up spills quickly
- Use a chopping board
- Watch the edges with heavy pans
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.
Daily use can make burns and chips worse particularly around the sink. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.
Questions from Goring
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Do you work in Goring?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Goring from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.
Can you match the pattern on my worktop?
Colour, flecks and veins are recreated by hand, so the repair blends into the surface.
How do I book?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Is a burnt worktop repairable?
Often, yes. We remove the damaged surface, fill it and recreate the pattern.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Why repair rather than replace?
If the worktop is swollen by water or badly damaged along its length, replacement may be the answer. For chips, burns and scratches, repair is usually far better value. Our worktop repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
What happens on the day
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which typically takes a few hours. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
- Burnt or loose material is cut back.
- The area is filled and shaped.
- The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
- We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

When a repair isn’t the answer
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A top that moves on its units
- Through cracks in stone that is moving
- Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
