Worktop repair in Gillock without replacing anything
You don’t need a new worktop because of one mark. We fill and refinish the damage so it blends into the pattern. We regularly repair solid surface (such as Corian), granite & marble and solid wood, and common reasons people contact us are scorch marks from pans and a chipped quartz edge.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

How we price worktop repair
Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
How to get a fixed quote
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire worktop, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
What we’re called out for in Gillock
The worst damage often happens in a moment: a hot pan put down without a trivet, or a heavy pan knocked against the edge. Scratches build up more slowly, from knives and grit.
People normally call us when they notice something like this:
- Chips near the sink
- Chipped corners
- Chips caused during installation
- Dents and gouges
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How to care for the finish
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
How to look after the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Do not cut directly on the worktop
- Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
- Oil wooden tops regularly
- Watch the edges with heavy pans
Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe spills right away, and keep wooden tops oiled.
Don’t leave damage by the sink, because water gets in and swells the board.
How it works
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours, depending on the damage, including clearing up.
- First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
Getting a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole worktop, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.

Repairs by material
Laminate
A laminate worktop is a thin decorative layer on a board. Damage is filled and the pattern painted in by hand.
Solid surface
Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so scratches and burns can frequently be sanded out and refinished.
