Worktop repair in Painswick, done in place

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Painswick and across Gloucestershire.

Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Keep wood oiled
- Clean spills right away
- Watch the edges with heavy pans
- Keep joints and edges dry
Keep joints and the sink edge dry, especially on laminate and wood.
A burn or chip can get worse with daily use. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.

Advice
When to call us in Painswick
Water around the sink can get into laminate and wood joints, which can cause swelling.
People normally call us after spotting something like this:
- Chips near the sink
- Cuts and scratches in the surface
- Burns from hot pans

Different materials, different repairs
Wood
Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, with burns and dents put right.
Solid surface
Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so marks can frequently be sanded and refinished.
What a repair can’t fix
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
- Cracks right through stone that has moved
- Water-swollen laminate
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

- Laminate
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Quartz
- Solid wood
- Granite & marble
What affects the price in Painswick
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- Doing more than one item at once
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material
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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed price
You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any details about the material
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Questions from Painswick
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide, so Painswick is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. You are under no obligation.
