About our worktop repair in Kingsholm

Pan burns, chipped edges and knife scratches make up most of our worktop work. All are repaired in place. Our technicians work on solid surface (such as Corian), solid wood and laminate, and people most often call us about a chipped edge and chips near the sink.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Landlord and trade work in Kingsholm

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

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

What worktop repair costs

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • How much damage there is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How hard the colour is to match

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

How to get a fixed price

Two or three clear photos are typically enough. It helps if you send:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Natural light rather than flash

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire worktop, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Keeping it looking good

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Do not knock pans against the edge
  • Use a chopping board
  • Never put hot pans down directly
  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone

Keep joints and the sink edge dry, especially on laminate and wood.

A chip on an edge can grow, and water can reach the core of laminate. An early repair prevents it.

FAQs for Kingsholm

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

When can you do it?

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

Is it messy?

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

Do you work in Kingsholm?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Kingsholm for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Can you match granite flecks?

Yes, the pattern is built up by hand.

When to call us in Kingsholm

Kitchen worktops have a hard life. Hot pans leave burns, knives cut, and heavy pans chip the edges.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Burns from hot pans
  • Snagging damage in a new kitchen
  • Scratches and knife marks
  • A dent from a dropped pan

Before booking anyone

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

Our hiring checklist

How it works

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
  2. Burnt or loose material is cut back.
  3. The area is filled and shaped.
  4. We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
  5. It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

How to get a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Related advice

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

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 normally the cheaper route.

Honest limits

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t fix:

  • Severe heat marks in quartz
  • Failed support under the worktop
  • Cracks right through stone that has moved

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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