Worktop repair at your home in Gilbert Street
Worktops are expensive to replace and hard to match, particularly where several lengths join. Repairing the damage keeps your kitchen as it is. Whether it’s knife marks and damage around the sink cut-out, we can help, on solid surface (such as Corian), laminate and granite & marble alike.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- The material
- The type of damage
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Unusual colours or finishes
We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Gilbert Street. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
How to get a fixed quote
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A photo taken from further back
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- What it’s made of, if you know
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole worktop, we can price the job without visiting.
When a repair is not the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Laminate that has blown or swollen
- Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
- A top that moves on its units
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

FAQs for Gilbert Street
What do you need from me?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Do you repair quartz?
Yes. The repair is colour matched and polished to the quartz’s finish.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Can a scorch mark be fixed?
Generally, yes. We remove the damaged surface, fill it and recreate the pattern.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Gilbert Street

What your worktop is made of matters
Wood
Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, with burns and dents put right.
Solid surface
Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so marks can often be sanded and refinished.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Take care with heavy pans near edges
- Do not cut directly on the worktop
- Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
- Always use a trivet for hot pans
Keep joints and the sink edge dry, especially on laminate and wood.
Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, as water can get in and cause swelling.
How the visit works
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 the damage, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
- Burnt or loose material is cut back.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
How to get a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.
