About our worktop repair in Grindiscol
You don’t need a new worktop because of one mark. The damage is filled and refinished so it blends into the pattern. Whether it’s a damaged sink edge and gouges in the surface, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

How we price worktop repair
Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Grindiscol. The price comes down to:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How many items we do on one visit
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material and finish
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from photos
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A wider photo showing the whole worktop
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Wood
Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, and burns and dents repaired.
Quartz
Quartz is tough, though edges can chip. We fill chips with a tinted resin and polish them to the worktop’s finish.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
When we’d advise against a repair
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- A top that moves on its units
- Severe heat marks in quartz
- A cracked stone top that’s unsupported
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What we work on
- Quartz
- Laminate
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Granite & marble
- Solid wood
What happens on the day
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow a few hours. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
- Burnt or loose material is cut back.
- The area is filled and shaped.
- We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
- We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
