Laminate
Laminate is a printed surface over a board. Chips and burns are filled and the pattern recreated.
How we handle worktop repair in Gorran Haven
A damaged worktop does not have to mean a new kitchen. The damage is filled and refinished to blend into the surface around it. If you’re dealing with scorch marks from pans and chipped corners, we can typically put it right, on quartz, solid wood and granite & marble alike.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Swollen or badly damaged laminate may need replacing. For chips, burns and scratches, repair is usually far better value. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Gorran Haven: your questions answered
Do I need to clear the kitchen?
Only around the repair. The rest of the kitchen stays usable.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
How much does worktop repair cost in Gorran Haven?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
What happens after I send pictures?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Can you match the pattern on my worktop?
Colour, flecks and veins are recreated by hand, for a repair that blends in.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Do not let water sit on joints
- Keep wood oiled
- Use a chopping board
- Don’t leave spills to soak in
Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.
Edge chips can get bigger, and water can reach the core of laminate. An early repair prevents it.

What worktop repair costs
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material and finish
We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
How to get a fixed quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- One picture of the whole worktop
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Where you are, by postcode
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
What we can’t put right
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- Discolouration deep in quartz
- Water-swollen laminate
- A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Solid wood
- Quartz
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Laminate
- Granite & marble
For landlords and businesses
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
How the visit works
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes a few hours. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Clear the area around the damage
- Keep a parking space free if you can
