Worktop Repair in Gourock
Problem with your worktop in Gourock? We repair it in place, mix the colour on the day and guarantee the work for a year.
- Repairs from £95
- A heat mark or burn
- Gouges in the surface
Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Don’t leave spills to soak in
- Steer clear of strong cleaners
- Never put hot pans down directly
- Take care with heavy pans near edges
Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.
Daily use can make burns and chips worse particularly around the sink. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.
How we handle worktop repair in Gourock
A new worktop rarely matches the old one, especially in an L-shaped or long kitchen. Repairing the damage keeps your kitchen as it is. Common call-outs are for damage to a stone worktop and knife marks, across solid wood, solid surface (such as Corian) and quartz.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

What your worktop is made of matters
Solid surface
Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so marks can frequently be sanded and refinished.
Wood
Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, with burns and dents put right.
When a repair isn’t the answer
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A cracked stone top that is unsupported
- Laminate swollen by water from underneath
- A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Quartz
- Granite & marble

Can I fix it myself?
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’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. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
