Covering Over
Over is about 2 miles north-west of Gloucester, in Gloucestershire. Our technicians come to homes and businesses in Over, so there is no workshop to go to. Over is one of 470 towns and villages in Gloucestershire we cover. We work right across the region, from Over to Birmingham (44 miles away).
Our technicians cover all of GL2. You will find streets such as Canal Way and Horseshoe Drive, and we cover them all. We also travel to Walham (1 mile east), Maisemore (1 mile north), Westgate (1 mile south-east), Highnam (1 mile west) and Kingsholm (1 mile east).

How we price worktop repair
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The colour and finish to match
- The material
- How easy the damage is to reach
We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Over. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Send photos for a quote
Two or three clear photos are generally enough. It helps if you send:
- One picture of the entire worktop
- Something in shot to show the size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the worktop, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Do not cut directly on the worktop
- Keep a trivet by the hob
- Steer clear of strong cleaners
- Don’t knock pans against the edge
Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe spills straight away, and keep wooden tops oiled.
A chip on an edge can grow, and on laminate, water can get into the core. Repairing it early stops that.
Repairing versus replacing in Over
If the worktop is swollen by water or badly damaged along its length, replacement may be the answer. For chips, burns and scratches, a repair is the better value. Our worktop repair starts 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 will get a fixed figure.

Common problems we fix in Over
Cut-outs for the sink and hob are the weakest parts, and that’s where cracks frequently begin.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:
- A dent from a dropped pan
- Chipped corners
- Chips caused during installation
- Scratches and knife marks
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How changes to the job are handled
- What preparation is included
- When it can be used again
For landlords and businesses
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Questions from Over
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
How do I book?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Over included. Travel is included in the price.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Do you cover Over?
We do. We send a technician to Over for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can a scorch mark be fixed?
Normally. A picture lets us check what’s possible.
Are there extra charges for Over?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
The process
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We start by checking the damage and the worktop material.
- The area is cleaned and the edges of the damage prepared.
- We fill with a filler suited to the material and rebuild any missing edge.
- The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
- We seal or finish the surface to suit the worktop.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Clear the area around the damage
- Open a window if you can
How to get a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
Related advice
When we would advise against a repair
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- Laminate swollen by water from underneath
- Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
- Cracks right through stone that has moved
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Quartz
- Solid wood
- Granite & marble
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Laminate
