About our worktop repair in Hook-a-Gate

We repair worktops in place, with the rest of the kitchen protected. Most repairs take a few hours, and the worktop can be used again soon after. If you are dealing with chipped corners and a heat mark or burn, we can generally put it right, on granite & marble, solid wood and laminate alike.

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Shropshire.

Work for landlords and builders

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hook-a-Gate use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Quartz

Quartz is crushed stone bound with resin. Edge chips are very common, and we fill and polish them.

Laminate

A laminate worktop is a thin decorative layer on a board. Damage is filled and the pattern painted in by hand.

Common problems we fix in Hook-a-Gate

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.

Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • Chipped corners
  • Damage from fitting or building work
  • Burns from hot pans
  • Damage to a stone worktop

Choosing a repair company

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Hook-a-Gate. The price depends on:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material and finish
  • The type of damage

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Hook-a-Gate. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Send pictures for a quote

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Natural light rather than flash

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole worktop, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

The process

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a few hours. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. First we look at the damage and what the worktop is made of.
  2. We clean the area and prepare the edges of the damage.
  3. A filler that suits the material goes in, and missing edges are rebuilt.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The surface is sealed or finished to suit the worktop.

How to prepare

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Advice

FAQs for Hook-a-Gate

What happens after I send photos?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can you repair a burn in a worktop?

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

Can you match granite flecks?

We match colour, flecks and veining by hand, so the repair blends into the surface.

Do you cover the entire of Shropshire?

Everywhere in the UK, Hook-a-Gate included. Travel is included in the price.

Can you repair a chipped quartz worktop?

Yes. Chips on edges and around the sink are very common repairs, filled and polished to match.

What information do you need?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

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

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed 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.

What we cannot put right

We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Water-swollen laminate
  • Severe heat marks in quartz
  • A cracked stone top that is unsupported

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

What we work on

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