Repairing versus replacing in Glengolly
Even a single new length of worktop means templating, cutting and refitting the sink and hob. A repair is a few hours with everything left in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. 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.
Why us?
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- We leave the room as we found it

Worktop repair in Glengolly without replacing anything
Burns from hot pans, chips on edges and scratches from knives are the most common worktop repairs. All are repaired in place. We regularly repair solid wood, solid surface (such as Corian) and granite & marble, and people most often call us about scorch marks from pans and scratches and knife marks.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What your worktop is made of matters
Quartz
Quartz is tough, though edges can chip. Chips are filled with tinted resin and polished.
Laminate
Laminate is a printed surface over a board. Chips and burns are filled and the pattern recreated.
What we do, step by step
There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will 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.
- We cut back any burnt or loose material.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Ensure the area is dry
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
How to get a price
Upload pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Glengolly, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Work for landlords and builders
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
If you manage property in Glengolly, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- How hard the colour is to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material and finish
- Doing more than one item at once
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from pictures
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- The material, if you know it
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
For a price in Glengolly, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best:
- Re-oil timber worktops
- Don’t leave spills to soak in
- Always use a trivet for hot pans
- Take care with heavy pans near edges
Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, especially on laminate and wood.
Do not leave damage by the sink, because water gets in and swells the board.
Glengolly: your questions answered
Will the repair match a patterned worktop?
Yes. We recreate the pattern by hand so it blends in.
What happens after I send photos?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
What information do you need?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
Do I need to clear the kitchen?
Only around the repair. You can typically still use the rest of the kitchen.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
What else we do in Glengolly
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
When we would advise against a repair
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
- Laminate swollen by water from underneath
- Cracks right through stone that has moved
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
Materials we work on in Glengolly
