Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Always use a trivet for hot pans
- Do not cut directly on the worktop
- Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
- Take care with heavy pans near edges
Leave the repaired area free of hot or heavy items until it has cured. After that, trivets and chopping boards are your best protection.
A chip on an edge can grow, and on laminate, water can get into the core. Repairing it early stops that.

How it works
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- 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.
- It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Make sure the area is dry
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Keep a parking space free if you can
Getting a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

What worktop repair costs
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- How hard the colour is to match
- What the surface is made of
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How much damage there is
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Getting a price from photos
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- One picture of the entire worktop
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any details about the material
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole worktop, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

FAQs for Gorse Hill
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.
What happens next?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Is a burnt worktop repairable?
Often, yes. We remove the damaged surface, fill it and recreate the pattern.
DIY kit or professional repair?
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, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
