Gushmere: your questions answered

Is it safe with children and pets around?

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

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

Can you repair a burn in a worktop?

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

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Can a quartz edge be fixed?

Yes. Chips on edges and around the sink are very common repairs, matched and polished.

Work for landlords and builders

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

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Should you replace it?

Even a single new length of worktop means templating, cutting and refitting the sink and hob. A repair takes a few hours and leaves everything in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Why us?

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Everything repaired in place
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • We leave the room as we found it

  • Through cracks in stone that is moving
  • Discolouration deep in quartz

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

  • Quartz
  • Laminate
  • Solid surface (such as Corian)

What worktop repair costs

Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Gushmere. The price depends on:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Send photos for a quote

Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • One picture of the entire worktop
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

If you’re in Gushmere and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

What we do, step by step

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. The area around the damage is protected.
  2. We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
  3. It’s filled and levelled with the surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed and polished to match.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Keeping it looking good

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
  • Keep joints and edges dry
  • Clean spills straight away
  • Don’t knock pans against the edge

Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, particularly with laminate and timber.

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