Worktop repair in Gorslas without replacing anything
Different worktops need different repairs: laminate is filled and patterned, quartz and stone are filled and polished, and wood is sanded and refinished. The goal is always a repair that blends in. We work on quartz, granite & marble and laminate, and the jobs we see most are a chipped quartz edge and a dent from a dropped pan.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.

When a repair isn’t the answer
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- Through cracks in stone that is moving
- Water-swollen laminate
- A top that moves on its units
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What we work on
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Laminate
- Quartz
- Granite & marble
- Solid wood
How to look after the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Wipe up spills quickly
- Never put hot pans down directly
- Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
- Take care with heavy pans near edges
Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, especially on laminate and wood.
Daily use can make burns and chips worse. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.
What worktop repair costs
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Gorslas. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
How to get a fixed quote
Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. It helps if you send:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The material, if you know it
- One picture of the entire worktop
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole worktop, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Gorslas as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Gorslas questions
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
Is a burnt worktop repairable?
Frequently, yes. The burn is cut back, filled and patterned to match.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
Will the repair match a patterned worktop?
Colour, flecks and veins are recreated by hand, so the repair blends into the surface.
What does worktop repair cost?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
Do you come to Gorslas?
We do. We send a technician to Gorslas for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
The process
We turn up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, depending on the damage, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
How to get a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Advice
Should you replace it?
Replacing a worktop means taking out the damaged top, templating and fitting a replacement and reconnecting the sink and hob, and it may not match the rest of the kitchen. A repair keeps your existing worktop. Our worktop repair starts from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. 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.
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.
