Questions from Gotham

Do you come to Gotham?

We do. Technicians travel to Gotham from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

Can you repair a chipped quartz worktop?

Yes. We repair quartz chips regularly, matched and polished.

What areas do you cover?

Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

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

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

Worktop repair in Gotham, done in place

Burns from hot pans, chips on edges and scratches from knives make up most of our worktop work. All are repaired in place. If you are dealing with chips near the sink and scratches and knife marks, we can generally put it right, on quartz, solid surface (such as Corian) and granite & marble alike.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Looking after it afterwards

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Watch the edges with heavy pans
  • Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
  • Oil wooden tops regularly
  • Always use a trivet for hot pans

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

A burn or chip can get worse with daily use. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.

When to call us in Gotham

Water around the sink can get into laminate and wood joints, which can cause swelling.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • A chipped edge
  • Snagging damage in a new kitchen
  • Damage around the sink cut-out
  • A dent from a dropped pan

What your quote should include

  • How the colour is matched
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Whether the price covers travel

How to compare quotes

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material and finish

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Gotham. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Send photos for a quote

You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A wider photo showing the whole worktop

Send us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Gotham, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

When a repair isn’t the answer

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Through cracks in stone that is moving
  • Discolouration deep in quartz
  • Failed support under the worktop

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we work on in Gotham

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

What we do, step by step

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
  2. The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
  3. We fill it and level it with the worktop.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal and polish it to the right sheen.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Clear the area around the damage

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Wood

Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, with burns and dents put right.

Solid surface

Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so scratches and burns can frequently be sanded out and refinished.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new worktop means taking out the damaged top, cutting and fitting a new one and refitting the sink and hob, and it may not match the rest of the kitchen. A repair keeps your existing worktop. Our worktop repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
