Worktop repair in Gunthorpe

What affects the price in Gunthorpe

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • How much damage there is
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A picture taken from further back
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • The material, if you know it

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the worktop, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

How we handle worktop repair in Gunthorpe

Pan burns, chipped edges and knife scratches make up most of our worktop work. All are repaired in place. We work on laminate, solid surface (such as Corian) and granite & marble, and people most frequently call us about a damaged sink edge and chips on edges and corners.

All our work comes with our one-year guarantee.

When to call us in Gunthorpe

Around the sink, water gets into joints on laminate and wood, and that can make them swell.

People normally call us when they notice one of these:

  • Chipped corners
  • Scratches and knife marks
  • A damaged sink edge
  • Damage from fitting or building work

What to look for in a quote

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • If travel is included in the price

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show

How to compare quotes

Different materials, different repairs

Granite and stone

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

Laminate

A laminate worktop is a thin decorative layer on a board. We fill damage and paint in the pattern by hand.

Keeping it looking good

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Watch the edges with heavy pans
  • Do not cut directly on the worktop
  • Keep a trivet by the hob
  • Keep joints and edges dry

Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.

A chip on an edge can grow, and water can reach the core of laminate. Repairing it early stops that.

Gunthorpe questions

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can you match the pattern on my worktop?

Yes, the pattern is built up by hand.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Is a burnt worktop repairable?

Generally, yes. We remove the damaged surface, fill it and recreate the pattern.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Work for landlords and builders

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

If you manage property in Gunthorpe, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Repairing versus replacing in Gunthorpe

Stone and quartz have to be templated and cut, so replacing one section is a big job. A repair takes a few hours. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why Gunthorpe customers choose us

  • One price list for the entire UK
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
