Worktop repair at your home in Garthorpe
We repair chips, burns and scratches in laminate, stone, quartz, solid surface and wooden worktops, matching the colour and pattern by hand. The worktop stays in place. If you are dealing with chips on edges and corners and burns from hot pans, we can help, on solid surface (such as Corian), laminate and quartz alike.

Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Don’t leave spills to soak in
- Keep joints and edges dry
- Always use a trivet for hot pans
- Use a chopping board
Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.
Do not leave damage by the sink, because water gets in and swells the board.
How the visit works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. It usually takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
- Burnt or loose material is cut back.
- The area is filled and shaped.
- The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
- We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
How to get a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Related advice
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
How we price worktop repair
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Garthorpe. What changes the price is:
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material
- Unusual colours or finishes
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Send photos for a quote
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- The material, if you know it
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Garthorpe: your questions answered
What happens after I send photos?
We come back with a fixed quote, typically with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.
Can you repair a burn in a worktop?
In most cases. A picture lets us check.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, Garthorpe included. Travel is included in the price.

- Chips caused during installation
