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, it’s worth having it done properly.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
What else we do in Gorof
Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best:
- Wipe up spills quickly
- Keep wood oiled
- Steer clear of strong cleaners
- Keep a trivet by the hob
Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.
Daily use can make burns and chips worse. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.
What affects the price in Gorof
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How many areas need work
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
How to get a fixed price
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Where you are, by postcode
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
What a repair cannot fix
A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- Severe heat marks in quartz
- A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
- A cracked stone top that is unsupported
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair
- Quartz
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Granite & marble
- Solid wood
- Laminate
The process
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Ensure the area is dry
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Gorof: your questions answered
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Powys.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole worktop and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Do you come to Gorof?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Gorof. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can a scorch mark be fixed?
In most cases. Send us a photo and we’ll tell you.
Can you match the pattern on my worktop?
Yes. We recreate the pattern by hand so it blends in.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Quartz
Quartz worktops are mostly stone set in resin. Edge chips are very common, and we fill and polish them to match the sheen.
