Gorthleck: your questions answered
Do you hold any accreditations?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
How much do I need to move?
Only the area we are working on. The rest is covered and protected.
What do you need from me?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Can you quote from pictures?
Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.
Worktop repair at your home in Gorthleck
Burns from hot pans, chips on edges and scratches from knives are the most common worktop repairs. We repair them all in your kitchen. We are often asked to fix a heat mark or burn and chips near the sink, across solid wood, solid surface (such as Corian) and quartz.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
What happens on the day
On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- 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.
- It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

Landlords, agents and businesses in Gorthleck
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
What your worktop is made of matters
Laminate
A laminate worktop is a thin decorative layer on a board. Damage is filled and the pattern painted in by hand.
Solid surface
Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so marks can frequently be sanded and refinished.
Repairing versus replacing in Gorthleck
Replacing even one length of worktop means templating, cutting, fitting and often a new sink and hob connection. A repair is a few hours with everything left in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

- Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- One price list for the entire UK

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Gorthleck. The price reflects:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The colour and finish to match
- The material and finish
- Doing more than one item at once
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Getting a price from pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A wider photo showing the whole worktop
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One sharp close-up of the damage
To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.
