How we handle worktop repair in Garvestone
A worktop repair is carried out in your kitchen. Most repairs take a few hours, and you can use the worktop again shortly afterwards. We work on laminate, solid wood and granite & marble, and common reasons people get in touch are cuts and scratches in the surface and a chipped edge.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back.

Garvestone questions
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Can you price it without visiting?
Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
How much do I need to move?
Just near the damage. The rest of the kitchen stays usable.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Do you repair quartz?
Yes. Chips on edges and around the sink are very common repairs, filled and polished to match.
Work for landlords and builders
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Repairing versus replacing in Garvestone
Even a single new length of worktop means templating, cutting and refitting the sink and hob. A repair is a few hours with everything left in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

What we can’t put right
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Discolouration deep in quartz
- A top that moves on its units
- Laminate swollen by water from underneath
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
What we work on
- Quartz
- Solid wood
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Laminate
- Granite & marble
Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Do not cut directly on the worktop
- Clean spills immediately
- Keep wood oiled
- Do not let water sit on joints
Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.
Edge chips can get bigger, and on laminate, water can get into the core. Repairing it early stops that.
Repairs by material
Wood
Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, with burns and dents put right.
Solid surface
Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so scratches and burns can frequently be sanded out and refinished.
