How to care for the repair

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Steer clear of strong cleaners
  • Keep joints and edges dry
  • Use a chopping board
  • Don’t knock pans against the edge

Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.

Do not leave damage by the sink, as water can get in and cause swelling.

Worktop repair at your home in Goverseth

Different worktops need different repairs: laminate is filled and patterned, quartz and stone are filled and polished, and wood is sanded and refinished. We always aim for a repair that blends in. We regularly repair solid surface (such as Corian), laminate and granite & marble, and common reasons people contact us are chipped corners and snagging damage in a new kitchen.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Goverseth as everywhere else we work.

Repairs by material

Solid surface

Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so marks can frequently be sanded and refinished.

Laminate

A laminate worktop is a thin decorative layer on a board. We fill damage and paint in the pattern by hand.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How much damage there is
  • The colour and finish to match
  • What the surface is made of

Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Send pictures for a quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire worktop, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Common questions in Goverseth

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.

How do I get a price for worktop repair in Goverseth?

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

Is there a call-out fee?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Do I need to empty the worktop?

Only around the repair. The rest of the kitchen stays usable.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

How the visit works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
  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

  • Open a window if you can
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Ensure the area is dry
