Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material
Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Quotes from your photos
You can take the photos on your phone. Make sure they show:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Details of any past repairs
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A wider photo showing the whole worktop
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
When a repair is not the answer
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Failed support under the worktop
- Discolouration deep in quartz
- Laminate that has blown or swollen
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we work on in Gaunt's Common

What we do, step by step
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Make sure the area is dry
- Keep a parking space free if you can

How to look after the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep a trivet by the hob
- Keep wood oiled
- Do not leave spills to soak in
- Watch the edges with heavy pans
Let the repair cure for the time we give you before putting anything heavy or hot on it. 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.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Quartz
Quartz is crushed stone bound with resin. Edge chips are very common, and we fill and polish them to match the sheen.
Wood
Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, with burns and dents put right.
Signs you need worktop repair in Gaunt's Common
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 gradually from knives and grit.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Chipped corners
- A chipped quartz edge
- Chips near the sink
- Gouges in the surface
What your quote should include
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Who will actually do the work
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- Whether they match the colour on site
Should you replace it?
Swollen or badly damaged laminate may need replacing. For chips, burns and scratches, repair is normally far better value. Prices start from £95. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Gaunt's Common: your questions answered
Can a quartz edge be fixed?
Yes. We match the colour and polish the repair.
Is a burnt worktop repairable?
Normally. Send us a picture and we will tell you.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
What happens after I send photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
