Worktop repair in Gelston, done in place
Matching a pattern is the skilled part of a worktop repair. Colour, flecks and veining are recreated by hand so the repair blends in. If you are dealing with scorch marks from pans and damage around the sink cut-out, we can help, on laminate, solid surface (such as Corian) and quartz alike.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Gelston and across Dumfries and Galloway.

Honest limits
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
- Laminate that has blown or swollen
- Through cracks in stone that is moving

- We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
- Burnt or loose material is cut back.
- The area is filled and shaped.
- We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
- We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How much damage there is
- Access to the area
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Getting a price from photos
You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Any details about the material
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A wider photo showing the entire worktop
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Wipe up spills quickly
- Chopping boards prevent scratches
- Steer clear of strong cleaners
- Don’t knock pans against the edge
Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe up spills promptly, and keep wooden tops oiled.
A chip on an edge can grow, and on laminate, water can get into the core. Repairing it early stops that.
