Look out for these signs:
- Damage from fitting or building work
- Chipped corners
- Gouges in the surface
- Chips in quartz or granite
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- How the room is protected while they work
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
How we handle worktop repair in Galgate
Matching a pattern is the skilled part of a worktop repair. We build up the colour and flecks by hand. We regularly repair solid surface (such as Corian), granite & marble and quartz, and people most frequently call us about scorch marks from pans and chips on edges and corners.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

How to care for the repair
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Dry around the sink and joints
- Take care with heavy pans near edges
- Wipe up spills quickly
- Chopping boards prevent scratches
Leave the repaired area free of hot or heavy items until it has cured. After that, trivets and chopping boards protect it best.
A chip on an edge can grow, and on laminate, water can get into the core. Repairing it early stops that.

Galgate: your questions answered
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can a quartz edge be fixed?
Yes. The repair is colour-matched and polished to the quartz’s finish.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
When a repair isn’t the answer
A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
- Failed support under the worktop
- A cracked stone top that is unsupported
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Materials we work on in Galgate
- Quartz
- Solid wood
- Granite & marble
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Laminate
Repair or replace: which is better?
Stone and quartz tops are templated and cut to fit, so replacing one section is a big job. Repairing it is a few hours’ work. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

What affects the price in Galgate
Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Galgate. What changes the price is:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How hard the colour is to match

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
Getting a price from photos
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any details about the material
If you are in Galgate and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

DIY kit or professional repair?
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 normally the cheaper route.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
