Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Wipe up spills quickly
- Dry around the sink and joints
- Do not cut directly on the worktop
- Always use a trivet for hot pans
Let the repair cure for the time we give you before putting anything heavy or hot on it. After that, trivets and chopping boards protect it best.
Daily use can make burns and chips worse particularly around the sink. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.

Related advice
Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
What your worktop is made of matters
Solid surface
Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so marks can often be sanded and refinished.
Quartz
Quartz is crushed stone bound with resin. Edge chips are very common, and we fill and polish them to match the sheen.

Your questions about worktop repair in Gowkshill
Are there extra charges for Gowkshill?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Can you repair a burn in a worktop?
In most cases. Send us a photo and we’ll tell you what’s possible.
How much do I need to move?
Just clear the area around the damage. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
How much does worktop repair cost in Gowkshill?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Repair or replace: which is better?
If the worktop is swollen by water or badly damaged along its length, replacement may be the answer. For chips, burns and scratches, repair is normally far better value. Our worktop repair starts from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

How we price worktop repair
Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- How hard the colour is to match
- What the surface is made of
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
Send pictures for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Details of any past repairs
- Where you are, by postcode
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Honest limits
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Water-swollen laminate
- A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
- Severe heat marks in quartz
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
