How we handle worktop repair in Guestling

The hard part of a worktop repair is matching the pattern. We build up the colour and flecks by hand. Our technicians work on solid surface (such as Corian), solid wood and granite & marble, and people most often call us about chips caused during installation and chips on edges and corners.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back.

Honest limits

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
  • Water-swollen laminate

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

What we work on

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

How it works

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
  2. We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
  3. It’s filled and levelled with the surface.
  4. The colour and pattern are built up by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed and polished to match.

How to prepare

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Getting a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.

How to look after the repair

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Do not leave spills to soak in
  • Dry around the sink and joints
  • Chopping boards prevent scratches
  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone

Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.

A burn or chip can get worse with daily use. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.

Your questions about worktop repair in Guestling

Do you cover Guestling?

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

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

Do I need to empty the worktop?

Just clear the area around the damage. We protect the rest of the kitchen.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

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

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

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

What your worktop is made of matters

Granite and stone

Repair or replace in Guestling?

Swollen or badly damaged laminate may need replacing. For chips, burns and scratches, repair is normally far better value. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
