How we handle worktop repair in Gifford
Each type of worktop needs a different approach: laminate is filled and patterned, quartz and stone are filled and polished, and wood is sanded and refinished. We always aim for a repair that blends in. Our technicians work on solid surface (such as Corian), granite & marble and solid wood, and people most often call us about damage around the sink cut-out and scorch marks from pans.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back.

Repairs by material
Granite and stone
Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.
Laminate
A laminate worktop is a thin decorative layer on a board. Damage is filled and the pattern painted in by hand.
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep joints and edges dry
- Keep a trivet by the hob
- Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
- Keep wood oiled
Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.
Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, because water gets in and swells the board.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.
What we can’t put right
A repair is not right for every job, for example:
- Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
- Cracks right through stone that has moved
- Water-swollen laminate
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- The material
- The colour and finish to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The type of damage
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
Getting a price from photos
You can take the pictures on your phone. Ensure they show:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any details about the material
- One picture of the whole worktop
- Details of any past repairs
To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
DIY kit or professional repair?
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 usually cheaper.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
