Advice
DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
FAQs for Gasthorpe
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Can you match the pattern on my worktop?
Yes. We recreate the pattern by hand.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Do I need to empty the worktop?
Only around the repair. The rest of the kitchen stays usable.
What happens after I send photos?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Laminate
A laminate worktop is a thin decorative layer on a board. We fill damage and paint in the pattern by hand.
Wood
Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, and burns and dents repaired.
How we price worktop repair
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many items we do on one visit
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Access to the area
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Quotes from your photos
Two or three clear photos are usually enough. Try to include:
- Details of any past repairs
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The material, if you know it
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Do not leave spills to soak in
- Re-oil timber worktops
- Don’t cut directly on the worktop
- Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
Leave the repaired area free of hot or heavy items until it has cured. After that, trivets and chopping boards are your best protection.
A burn or chip can get worse with daily use particularly around the sink. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.
Honest limits
We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Through cracks in stone that is moving
- Failed support under the worktop
- Discolouration deep in quartz
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on
- Quartz
- Granite & marble
- Solid wood
- Laminate
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
Work for landlords and builders
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we will arrange it.
