Need worktop repair in South Cerney?

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

Worktop repair in South Cerney without replacing anything

You don’t need a new worktop because of one mark. We fill and refinish the damage so it blends into the pattern. Typical jobs include chips in quartz or granite and snagging damage in a new kitchen, on solid wood, granite & marble and quartz.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Looking after it afterwards

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Do not knock pans against the edge
  • Don’t let water sit on joints
  • Re-oil timber worktops
  • Chopping boards prevent scratches

Let the repair cure for the time we give you before putting anything heavy or hot on it. After that, trivets and chopping boards are your best protection.

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

How the visit works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a few hours, depending on the damage from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
  2. The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
  3. It’s filled and levelled with the surface.
  4. The colour and pattern are built up by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed and polished to match.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Ask for a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

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 matching the rest of the kitchen can be hard. Repairing the damage keeps your existing worktop. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Common questions in South Cerney

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Do you cover the entire of Gloucestershire?

We work UK-wide, so South Cerney is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

How quickly can you book me in?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Will the repair match a patterned worktop?

Yes, the pattern is built up by hand so it blends in.

Can you repair a chipped quartz worktop?

Yes. The repair is colour matched and polished to the quartz’s finish.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Gloucestershire.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • Access to the area
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Send photos for a quote

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One picture of the entire worktop
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the worktop, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Granite and stone

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

Solid surface

Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so marks can often be sanded and refinished.

Common problems we fix in South Cerney

Most worktop damage takes a second: a hot pan set straight down, or a heavy pan catching the edge. Scratches build up gradually from knives and grit.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • A dent from a dropped pan
  • Cuts and scratches in the surface
  • A chipped edge
  • A heat mark or burn

Questions to ask before you book

  • How soon you can use it again
  • How to look after the finish
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • What happens if they find more damage

10 questions to ask before you book

When a repair isn’t the answer

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

  • Through cracks in stone that is moving
  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath
  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
