Questions from Gorse Hill
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Can you repair a burn in a worktop?
Normally, yes. The burn is cut back, filled and patterned to match.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Can a quartz edge be fixed?
Yes, often. We match the colour and polish the repair.
Can you price it without visiting?
Generally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
How much do I need to move?
Just near the damage. The rest of the kitchen stays usable.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

When to call us in Gorse Hill
Kitchen worktops have a hard life. Hot pans leave burns, knives cut, and heavy pans chip the edges.
The things clients usually mention when they call are:
- Chips on edges and corners
- Snagging damage in a new kitchen
- Damage around the sink cut-out
- A dent from a dropped pan
What to look for in a quote
- What happens if they find more damage
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Whether the price covers travel
- Who will actually do the work

- The area around the damage is protected.
- We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
- We fill it and level it with the worktop.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- We seal and polish it to the right sheen.
How to prepare

Advice
What affects the price in Gorse Hill
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Doing more than one item at once
- What the surface is made of
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How hard the colour is to match
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.
How to get a fixed price
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any details about the material
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire worktop, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Oil wooden tops regularly
- Don’t leave spills to soak in
- Do not knock pans against the edge
- Always use a trivet for hot pans
Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.
Don’t leave damage by the sink, because water gets in and swells the board.
DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
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, and the work is guaranteed.
Why repair rather than replace?
Even a single new length of worktop means templating, cutting and refitting the sink and hob. A repair is a few hours with everything left in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
