Common problems we fix in Gourdon

Most worktop damage takes a second: a hot pan set straight down, or a heavy pan catching the edge. Scratches build up more slowly, from knives and grit.

Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • Chipped corners
  • A damaged sink edge
  • Chips in quartz or granite
  • Cuts and scratches in the surface

Choosing a repair company

Common questions in Gourdon

Do I need to empty the worktop?

Just clear the area around the damage. The rest is covered and protected.

Is there a call-out fee?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

How quickly can you book me in?

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

What information do you need?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first.

Are you accredited?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

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

Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

How we price worktop repair

Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Access to the area

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Send pictures for a quote

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Where you are, by postcode

If you are in Gourdon and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

How to care for the repair

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Watch the edges with heavy pans
  • Wipe up spills quickly
  • Don’t let water sit on joints
  • Always use a trivet for hot 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. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Gourdon

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Laminate that has blown or swollen
  • Failed support under the worktop
  • Cracks right through stone that has moved

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

What we work on

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

The process

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
  2. Burnt or loose material is cut back.
  3. The area is filled and shaped.
  4. We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
  5. It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Getting a price

Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Gourdon, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
