A worktop repair is carried out in your kitchen, with the rest of the kitchen protected. Most jobs take a few hours, and the worktop can be used again soon after. We’re often asked to fix a damaged sink edge and a dent from a dropped pan, on laminate, granite & marble and quartz.

Questions from Gunby

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

Will it make a mess?

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

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

Do you cover Gunby?

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

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

How soon can you come?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Can you quote from pictures?

Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Repair or replace: which is better?

If the worktop is swollen by water or badly damaged along its length, replacement may be the answer. For chips, burns and scratches, a repair is the better value. Our worktop repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why us?

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • One visit for most repairs
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Everything repaired in place

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Gunby

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Lincolnshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Different materials, different repairs

Wood

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

Granite and stone

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

Aftercare tips

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Do not leave spills to soak in
  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
  • Do not cut directly on the worktop
  • Take care with heavy pans near edges

Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, especially on laminate and wood.

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

How we price worktop repair

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

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How much damage there is
  • The material
  • What kind of damage it is

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Send pictures for a quote

You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • A wider photo showing the whole worktop
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any details about the material
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

What we do, step by step

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours, depending on the damage, including clearing up.

  1. We assess the damage and the worktop material.
  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.

Before we arrive

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

How to get a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.
