Worktop repair in Gobowen, done in place
A new worktop rarely matches the old one, especially in an L-shaped or long kitchen. Repairing the damage keeps your kitchen as it is. Whether it’s knife marks and chipped corners, we can generally put it right, on laminate, granite & marble and solid surface (such as Corian) alike.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back.

How to look after the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Clean spills straight away
- Oil wooden tops regularly
- Don’t cut directly on the worktop
- Take care with heavy pans near edges
Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, particularly with laminate and timber.
Daily use can make burns and chips worse particularly around the sink. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Quartz
Quartz worktops are mostly stone set in resin. Edge chips are very common, and we fill and polish them.
Laminate
Laminate is a printed surface bonded to a board. Damage is filled and the pattern painted in by hand.

What a repair can’t fix
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
- Water-swollen laminate
- A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
