Worktop repair in Old Gore

Worktop repair in Old Gore, done in place

The hard part of a worktop repair is matching the pattern. We build up the colour and flecks by hand so the repair blends in. Common call-outs are for chips on edges and corners and knife marks, on solid surface (such as Corian), solid wood and quartz.

All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Herefordshire.

Repairs by material

Granite and stone

Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.

Laminate

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Questions from Old Gore

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Do you cover Old Gore?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Old Gore from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

How do I get a price for worktop repair in Old Gore?

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your HR9 postcode.

Are there extra charges for Old Gore?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

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

How much do I need to move?

Just near the damage. You can generally still use the rest of the kitchen.

Keeping it looking good

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

  • Oil wooden tops regularly
  • Dry around the sink and joints
  • Watch the edges with heavy pans
  • Never put hot pans down directly

Keep joints and the sink edge dry, particularly with laminate and timber.

Edge chips can get bigger, and water can reach the core of laminate. Repairing it early stops that.

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. Repairing the damage leaves the worktop in place. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

What you get with us

  • No need to remove anything
  • Colour-matched on site
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

Take a look at our prices page.

Work for landlords and builders

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

What worktop repair costs

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material and finish

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

Quotes from your pictures

You can take the pictures on your phone. Just ensure we can see:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • The material, if you know it
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Honest limits

A repair isn’t right for every job, including:

  • Through cracks in stone that is moving
  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
  • Failed support under the worktop

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

Materials we work on in Old Gore

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

What we do, step by step

We begin by going over the job with you. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. It normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
  2. Burnt or loose material is cut back.
  3. We fill and shape the damaged area.
  4. The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
  5. We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Ask for a price

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
