Worktop repair in Gunnislake, done in place

Burns from hot pans, chips on edges and scratches from knives make up most of our worktop work. All are repaired in place. We regularly repair solid surface (such as Corian), quartz and granite & marble, and people most often call us about a dent from a dropped pan and damage to a stone worktop.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

What we cannot put right

A repair is not right for every job, for example:

  • Failed support under the worktop
  • Through cracks in stone that is moving
  • Severe heat marks in quartz

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

What we work on

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

Keeping it looking good

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Take care with heavy pans near edges
  • Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
  • Keep wood oiled
  • Keep joints and edges dry

Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe spills immediately, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.

Edge chips can get bigger, and on laminate, water can get into the core. An early repair prevents it.

Do you need worktop repair in Gunnislake?

Most worktop damage takes a second: a hot pan put down without a trivet, or a heavy pan knocked against the edge. Scratches build up more slowly, from knives and grit.

Most people contact us when they notice one of these:

  • A chipped edge
  • A dent from a dropped pan
  • A damaged sink edge
  • Damage from fitting or building work

Questions to ask before you book

  • Aftercare advice
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • What prep work is covered
  • When it can be used again

Our hiring checklist

Different materials, different repairs

Quartz

Quartz is hard, but its edges are brittle. We fill chips with a tinted resin and polish them.

Solid surface

Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so scratches and burns can frequently be sanded out and refinished.

Questions from Gunnislake

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.

Do you charge for travel?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

Do you work in Gunnislake?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Gunnislake. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Do I need to empty the worktop?

Only the area we are working on. The rest is covered and protected.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

Repair or replace: which is better?

An identical replacement may look different next to aged worktops. A repair is matched to what you have now. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Gunnislake

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Gunnislake as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

What happens on the day

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon in most cases. We leave the room clean.

  1. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
  2. We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
  3. We fill it and level it with the worktop.
  4. The colour and pattern are built up by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed and polished to match.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
