DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Repair or replace in Garn-Las?

If the worktop is swollen by water or badly damaged along its length, replacement may be the answer. For chips, burns and scratches, repair is usually far better value. Our worktop repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Garn-Las. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What you get with us

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

Read our pricing.

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Keep wood oiled
  • Watch the edges with heavy pans
  • Wipe up spills quickly
  • Use a chopping board

Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.

Do not leave damage by the sink, as water can get in and cause swelling.

What a repair cannot fix

We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath
  • Severe heat marks in quartz
  • Cracks right through stone that has moved

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Surfaces we repair

  • Solid wood
  • Solid surface (such as Corian)
  • Quartz
  • Granite & marble
  • Laminate

What we are called out for in Garn-Las

The worst damage often happens in a moment: a hot pan put down without a trivet, or a heavy pan knocked against the edge. Scratches build up more slowly, from knives and grit.

Look out for any of the following:

  • Dents and gouges
  • Chips caused during installation
  • Chips in quartz or granite
  • Chipped corners

Before you book anyone

  • Aftercare advice
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • How the colour is matched
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers

10 questions to ask before you book

How the visit works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. You can expect it to take a morning or an afternoon, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. The area around the damage is protected.
  2. We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
  3. We fill it and level it with the worktop.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal and polish it to the right sheen.

How to prepare

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Getting a price

Email us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Garn-Las, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

What your worktop is made of matters

Laminate

Laminate is a printed surface over a board. Chips and burns are filled and the pattern recreated.

Quartz

Quartz is hard, but its edges are brittle. We fill chips with a tinted resin and polish them to the worktop’s finish.

For landlords and businesses

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

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.
