Should you replace it?
Replacing a worktop means removing the old one, templating and fitting a replacement and refitting the sink and hob, and matching the rest of the kitchen can be hard. A repair keeps your existing worktop. Our worktop repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why Friar's Gate clients choose us
- One visit for most repairs

What your worktop is made of matters
Solid surface
Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so scratches and burns can frequently be sanded out and refinished.
Granite and stone
Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.
Honest limits
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- A top that moves on its units
- Water-swollen laminate
- Cracks right through stone that has moved

DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Common problems we fix in Friar's Gate
Kitchen worktops have a hard life. Hot pans scorch, knives leave scratches, and heavy pans chip the edges.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- Scorch marks from pans
- A chipped quartz edge
- Chipped corners
- Chips caused during installation
Before you book anyone
- How soon you can use it again
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- How to care for the finish
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Don’t let water sit on joints
- Clean spills immediately
- Don’t knock pans against the edge
- Use a chopping board
Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.
A chip on an edge can grow, and on laminate, water can get into the core. An early repair prevents it.
