Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Don’t knock pans against the edge
- Re-oil timber worktops
- Keep a trivet by the hob
- Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe spills immediately, and keep wooden tops oiled.
Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, because water gets in and swells the board.
Worktop repair in Ganstead without replacing anything
Matching a pattern is the skilled part of a worktop repair. We build up the colour and flecks by hand so the repair blends in. We regularly repair quartz, laminate and solid surface (such as Corian), and the jobs we see most are damage to a stone worktop and scorch marks from pans.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back.

- 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.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Repairing versus replacing in Ganstead
Replacing a worktop means removing the old one, cutting and fitting a new one and refitting the sink and hob, and it may not match the rest of the kitchen. Repairing the damage leaves the worktop in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Ganstead. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Questions from Ganstead
Do you come to Ganstead?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Ganstead. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Do I need to clear the kitchen?
Only around the repair. You can normally still use the rest of the kitchen.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
What happens next?
You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.
Is a burnt worktop repairable?
Usually, yes. We remove the damaged surface, fill it and recreate the pattern.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- A damaged sink edge
- Chipped corners
- Gouges in the surface
- Chips in quartz or granite
Comparing quotes
- Whether the colour is mixed to match

Landlord and trade work in Ganstead
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
What a repair can’t fix
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- A top that moves on its units
- Through cracks in stone that is moving
- Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Solid wood
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Quartz
- Granite & marble
- Laminate
What your worktop is made of matters
Laminate
A laminate worktop is a thin decorative layer on a board. We fill damage and paint in the pattern by hand.
Quartz
Quartz is hard, but its edges are brittle. We fill chips with a tinted resin and polish them.
