What affects the price in Guist

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Guist. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What a repair can’t fix

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • A top that moves on its units
  • Through cracks in stone that is moving
  • Laminate that has blown or swollen

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

What your worktop is made of matters

Quartz

Quartz is crushed stone bound with resin. We fill and polish chipped edges to match the sheen.

Solid surface

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

What we do, step by step

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage. The room is left tidy.

  1. First we look at the damage and what the worktop is made of.
  2. The area is cleaned and the edges of the damage prepared.
  3. We fill with a filler suited to the material and rebuild any missing edge.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal or finish the area to match.

Preparing for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Getting a price

Upload a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Guist, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Work for landlords and builders

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Common problems we fix in Guist

The worst damage frequently happens in a moment: a hot pan set straight down, or a heavy pan catching the edge. Scratches build up more slowly, from knives and grit.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • A dent from a dropped pan
  • Snagging damage in a new kitchen
  • A chipped edge
  • Burns from hot pans

What your quote should include

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • What preparation is included
  • Aftercare advice
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

10 questions to ask before you book

Your questions about worktop repair in Guist

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a worktop means taking out the damaged top, cutting and fitting a new one and reconnecting the sink and hob, and matching the rest of the kitchen can be hard. Repairing the damage keeps your existing worktop. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
