Questions from Gorseness
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
What does worktop repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
What areas do you cover?
All of the Orkney Islands, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Do you work in Gorseness?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Gorseness and the rest of the Orkney Islands. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Can a quartz edge be fixed?
Yes. We match the colour and polish the repair.
Is a burnt worktop repairable?
Frequently, yes. We remove the damaged surface, fill it and recreate the pattern.
What we do, step by step
You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on the damage, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
- We cut back any burnt or loose material.
- The area is filled and shaped.
- The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
- We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Let us know about parking or access
Ask for a price

Advice
DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
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.
Repairs by material
Solid surface
Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so scratches and burns can often be sanded out and refinished.
Granite and stone
Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.

Gorseness is about 6 miles north of Kirkwall, in the Orkney Islands. We visit homes and businesses in Gorseness and the surrounding area, so there is no workshop to go to. Gorseness is one of 51 places in the Orkney Islands where we work.
We work across KW17. Nearby, we also work in Isbister (2 miles south-west), Tingwall (2 miles north-west), Norseman (2 miles south-west), Settiscarth (3 miles west) and Balfour (5 miles south-east). Remote and island addresses take a little more planning, so call us to arrange it.

How we price worktop repair
Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Gorseness. The price depends on:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Access to the area
- What kind of damage it is
- How many items we do on one visit
Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed quote
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A wider photo showing the whole worktop
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Repairing versus replacing in Gorseness
A new worktop means removing the old one, templating and fitting a replacement and reconnecting the sink and hob, and matching the rest of the kitchen can be hard. Repairing the damage leaves the worktop in place. Our worktop repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
- Do not let water sit on joints
- Always use a trivet for hot pans
- Oil wooden tops regularly
Let the repair cure for the time we give you before putting anything heavy or hot on it. After that, trivets and chopping boards are your best protection.
Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, as water can get in and cause swelling.
For landlords and businesses
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Gorseness as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
For anyone letting property in or around Gorseness, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.
