Worktop repair for Gravel Castle homes

How it works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which usually takes a few hours, depending on the damage. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. First we look at the damage and what the worktop is made of.
  2. Next we clean up and prepare the damaged area.
  3. We fill the damage with a suitable filler and build up any lost edge.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The surface is sealed or finished to suit the worktop.

How to prepare

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Should you replace it?

If the worktop is swollen by water or badly damaged along its length, replacement may be the answer. For chips, burns and scratches, repair is normally far better value. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why book with us

  • Colour-matched on site
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • One price list for the whole UK

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Wood

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

Granite and stone

Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.

What affects the price in Gravel Castle

Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • How many areas need work
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What the surface is made of

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Send pictures for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A wider photo showing the whole worktop
  • Any details about the material

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Looking after it afterwards

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

  • Watch the edges with heavy pans
  • Chopping boards prevent scratches
  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
  • Keep joints and edges dry

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.

Common questions in Gravel Castle

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.

What happens next?

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

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

Do you come to Gravel Castle?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Gravel Castle from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

What information do you need?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

What a repair cannot fix

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • A top that moves on its units
  • Water-swollen laminate
  • Severe heat marks in quartz

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

What we work on

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Gravel Castle

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Gravel Castle as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
