It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- Laminate that has blown or swollen
- A top that moves on its units
- Cracks right through stone that has moved
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we work on in Guide Post

- Granite & marble
- Quartz
- Laminate
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Wood
Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, and burns and dents repaired.
Solid surface
Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so marks can frequently be sanded and refinished.
The process
We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We protect the rest of the kitchen.
- The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
- We fill it and level it with the worktop.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- The repair is sealed and polished to match.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Open a window if you can
- Keep a parking space free if you can

What affects the price in Guide Post
Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Guide Post. What changes the price is:
- How much damage there is
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.
Getting a price from pictures
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A wider photo showing the whole worktop
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.
When to call us in Guide Post
Most worktop damage takes a second: a hot pan set straight down, or a heavy pan catching the edge. Scratches build up more slowly, from knives and grit.
People normally call us after spotting one of these:
- Knife marks
- A dent from a dropped pan
- Chips on edges and corners
- Damage from fitting or building work
Before booking anyone
- If travel is included in the price
- Who will actually do the work
- How soon you can use it again
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
How to look after the repair
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Oil wooden tops regularly
- Do not leave spills to soak in
- Always use a trivet for hot pans
- Keep joints and edges dry
Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, especially on laminate and wood.
Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, because water gets in and swells the board.

Your questions about worktop repair in Guide Post
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Is a burnt worktop repairable?
Generally, yes. We remove the damaged surface, fill it and recreate the pattern.
Do I need to empty the worktop?
Just near the damage. The rest of the kitchen stays usable.
How much does worktop repair cost in Guide Post?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your NE62 postcode.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Will the repair match a patterned worktop?
Yes, the pattern is built up by hand so it blends in.
What happens if you find more damage?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Are there extra charges for Guide Post?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Why repair rather than replace?
Swollen or badly damaged laminate may need replacing. For chips, burns and scratches, repair is normally far better value. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
