About our worktop repair in Golant
Each type of worktop needs a different approach: we fill and pattern laminate, fill and polish quartz and stone, and sand and refinish wood. We always aim for a repair that blends in. We regularly repair quartz, laminate and solid surface (such as Corian), and people most often call us about a dent from a dropped pan and damage to a stone worktop.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it.

Common problems we fix in Golant
Most worktop damage takes a second: a hot pan put down without a trivet, or a heavy pan knocked against the edge. Scratches build up gradually from knives and grit.
The things customers generally mention when they call are:
- Chips caused during installation
- A heat mark or burn
- Dents and gouges
- Knife marks
Before you book anyone
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- How the room is protected while they work
- Aftercare advice

Different materials, different repairs
Laminate
A laminate worktop is a thin decorative layer on a board. We fill damage and paint in the pattern by hand.
Solid surface
Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so scratches and burns can frequently be sanded out and refinished.
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Steer clear of strong cleaners
- Chopping boards prevent scratches
- Oil wooden tops regularly
- Keep a trivet by the hob
Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, especially on laminate and wood.
Do not leave damage by the sink, as water can get in and cause swelling.

Golant questions
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can you price it without visiting?
Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
How much does worktop repair cost in Golant?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item and your postcode.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Can a scorch mark be fixed?
In most cases. A photo lets us check what’s possible.
Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- The material and finish
- How hard the colour is to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.
Getting a price from pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- A photo taken from further back
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire worktop, we can price the job.
Repair or replace: which is better?
If the worktop is swollen by water or badly damaged along its length, replacement may be the answer. For chips, burns and scratches, a repair is the better value. Our worktop repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
