Worktop repair near Govilon

What we do, step by step

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  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. We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.

How to prepare

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Granite and stone

Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.

Solid surface

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

How to look after the repair

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Keep joints and edges dry
  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
  • Take care with heavy pans near edges
  • Clean spills right away

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.

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

Should you replace it?

Swollen or badly damaged laminate may need replacing. For chips, burns and scratches, a repair is the better value. Our worktop repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Why us?

  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

See our prices page.

Honest limits

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Through cracks in stone that is moving
  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath
  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed

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

Common problems we fix in Govilon

  • Knife marks
  • Damage from fitting or building work
  • Chips near the sink
  • Chips in quartz or granite

How to compare quotes

How we price worktop repair

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

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material
  • Access to the area
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

How to get a fixed price

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Natural light rather than flash

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
