Worktop repair in Gorebridge, done in place
A damaged worktop does not have to mean a new kitchen. The damage is filled and refinished so it blends into the pattern. We are frequently asked to fix a damaged sink edge and cuts and scratches in the surface, across solid wood, quartz and laminate.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

How it works
When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- 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
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Ask for a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Advice
Gorebridge: your questions answered
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
What do you need from me?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Do I need to clear the kitchen?
Only around the repair. The rest of the kitchen stays usable.
Will the repair match a patterned worktop?
Colour, flecks and veins are recreated by hand, so the repair blends into the surface.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
What we cannot put right
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Water-swollen laminate
- A cracked stone top that’s unsupported
- A top that moves on its units
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
What we work on
- Solid wood
- Granite & marble
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Laminate
- Quartz
Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best:
- Keep wood oiled
- Do not knock pans against the edge
- Wipe up spills quickly
- Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, especially on laminate and wood.
A chip on an edge can grow, and water can reach the core of laminate. Repairing it early stops that.
Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 frequently lifts.
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 fails, we can still put it right.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Gorebridge
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
For anyone letting property in or around Gorebridge, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Repairs by material
Wood
Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, and burns and dents repaired.
Granite and stone
Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.
Should you replace it?
Stone and quartz have to be templated and cut, so replacing a section takes time and money. Repairing it is a few hours’ work. Our worktop repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
