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. We regularly repair solid surface (such as Corian), quartz and solid wood, and people most often call us about cuts and scratches in the surface and snagging damage in a new kitchen.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Gawthwaite and across Cumbria.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Gawthwaite

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we will handle the rest.

How it works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Allow a morning or an afternoon. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to care for it.

  1. We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
  2. We cut back any burnt or loose material.
  3. The area is filled and shaped.
  4. We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
  5. It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Let us know about parking or access

Your questions about worktop repair in Gawthwaite

How soon can you come?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Will the repair match a patterned worktop?

Colour, flecks and veins are recreated by hand, so the repair blends into the surface.

Do I need to empty the worktop?

Only the area we’re working on. We protect the rest of the kitchen.

Keeping it looking good

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Watch the edges with heavy pans
  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
  • Don’t cut directly on the worktop
  • Keep joints and edges dry

Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe spills straight away, and keep wooden tops oiled.

Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, as water can get in and cause swelling.

Repair or replace in Gawthwaite?

Stone and quartz tops are templated and cut to fit, so replacing a section takes time and money. A repair takes a few hours. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What you get with us

  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

Do you need worktop repair in Gawthwaite?

Worktops take more punishment than anything else in the kitchen. Hot pans scorch, knives leave scratches, and edges chip when heavy pans or tins hit them.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • Cuts and scratches in the surface
  • Damage to a stone worktop
  • Damage from fitting or building work
  • Chipped corners

What your quote should include

  • Who turns up on the day
  • What prep work is covered
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • How the room is protected while they work

Our hiring checklist

When we’d advise against a repair

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • A cracked stone top that’s unsupported
  • A top that moves on its units
  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we work on in Gawthwaite

  • Solid wood
  • Solid surface (such as Corian)
  • Quartz
  • Laminate
  • Granite & marble

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How many areas need work
  • The colour and finish to match
  • What the surface is made of

A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Upload a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Gawthwaite, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
