Repair or replace in Gissing?
Replacing a worktop means removing the old one, cutting and fitting a new one and reconnecting the sink and hob, and it may not match the rest of the kitchen. A repair keeps your existing worktop. Our worktop repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Gissing. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Different materials, different repairs
Granite and stone
Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.
Laminate
A laminate worktop is a thin decorative layer on a board. Damage is filled and the pattern painted in by hand.
How to look after the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Do not cut directly on the worktop
- Dry around the sink and joints
- Re-oil timber worktops
- Wipe up spills quickly
Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, particularly with laminate and timber.
A chip on an edge can grow, and water can reach the core of laminate. Repairing it early stops that.
How it works
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. 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.
- We fill and shape the damaged area.
- We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
- It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the worktop, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
When we would advise against a repair
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- A cracked stone top that is unsupported
- Laminate that has blown or swollen
- Severe heat marks in quartz
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Quartz
- Granite & marble
- Laminate

- Solid surface (such as Corian)
Gissing questions
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Typically, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
What do you need from me?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Do I need to empty the worktop?
Only around the repair. The rest of the kitchen stays usable.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
