Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Solid surface
Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so marks can often be sanded and refinished.
Granite and stone
Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.

- We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
- We cut back any burnt or loose material.
- We fill and shape the damaged area.
- The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
- We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.

- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Keep a parking space free if you can

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire worktop, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
Advice
How to care for the repair
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Clean spills immediately
- Always use a trivet for hot pans
- Dry around the sink and joints
- Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
Keep joints and the sink edge dry, particularly with laminate and timber.
A chip on an edge can grow, and water can reach the core of laminate. Repairing it early stops that.
Gallows Inn questions
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Do you cover Gallows Inn?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Gallows Inn and the rest of Derbyshire. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
How much do I need to move?
Only around the repair. You can generally still use the rest of the kitchen.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
What we can’t put right
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Laminate that has blown or swollen
- Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
- A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we work on in Gallows Inn
