How we handle worktop repair in Gawsworth
The hard part of a worktop repair is matching the pattern. Colour, flecks and veining are recreated by hand. Our repair technicians work on solid surface (such as Corian), quartz and granite & marble, and common reasons people contact us are knife marks and damage to a stone worktop.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Can I fix it myself?
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, it’s worth having it done properly.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
What worktop repair costs
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How much damage there is
- What kind of damage it is
- How hard the colour is to match
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your pictures
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- The material, if you know it
- A wider photo showing the entire worktop
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire worktop, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Gawsworth questions
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Can a quartz edge be fixed?
Yes, frequently. The repair is colour matched and polished to the quartz’s finish.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
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 will tell you.
How do I book?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
For landlords and businesses
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Repairs by material
Solid surface
Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so scratches and burns can frequently be sanded out and refinished.
Wood
Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, and burns and dents repaired.

Honest limits
We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Failed support under the worktop
- Laminate swollen by water from underneath
- Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

- First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
- We cut back any burnt or loose material.
- We fill and shape the damaged area.
- We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
- We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.

Repair or replace in Gawsworth?
Replacing a worktop means taking out the damaged top, cutting and fitting a new one and refitting the sink and hob, and it may not match the rest of the kitchen. Repairing the damage leaves the worktop in place. Our worktop repair starts from £95. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

How to look after the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Use a chopping board
- Keep wood oiled
- Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
- Do not leave spills to soak in
Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe up spills promptly, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.
A burn or chip can get worse with daily use, especially near the sink. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.
