What we do, step by step

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
  2. The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
  3. It’s filled and levelled with the surface.
  4. The colour and pattern are built up by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed and polished to match.

Before we arrive

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Getting a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

What we are called out for in Higher Gamesley

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.

Common reasons people in Higher Gamesley contact us include:

  • Chips on edges and corners
  • Chips caused during installation
  • Chips in quartz or granite
  • Scorch marks from pans

What your quote should include

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • How long it needs to cure
  • What aftercare is recommended

Choosing a repair company

When we would advise against a repair

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Through cracks in stone that is moving
  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
  • A top that moves on its units

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Materials we work on in Higher Gamesley

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 frequently lifts.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.

Higher Gamesley questions

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

How much do I need to move?

Only around the repair. The rest of the kitchen stays usable.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Do you repair quartz?

Yes. We match the colour and polish the repair.

Is a burnt worktop repairable?

Frequently, yes. The burn is cut back, filled and patterned to match.

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

What your worktop is made of matters

Laminate

Laminate is a printed surface bonded to a board. Damage is filled and the pattern painted in by hand.

Granite and stone

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

For landlords and businesses

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Higher Gamesley use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a worktop means removing the old one, cutting and fitting a new one and reconnecting the sink and hob, and it may not match the rest of the kitchen. A repair leaves the worktop in place. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Why us?

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

How we price worktop repair

Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Higher Gamesley. The price comes down to:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The colour and finish to match

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.

Send pictures for a quote

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • One picture of the entire worktop
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The material, if you know it

Most clients in Higher Gamesley get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
