Different materials, different repairs
Laminate
A laminate worktop is a thin decorative layer on a board. Damage is filled and the pattern painted in by hand.
Solid surface
Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so scratches and burns can frequently be sanded out and refinished.
DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Repair or replace in Gulval?
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 usually far better value. Our worktop repair starts from £95. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How to care for the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
- Keep a trivet by the hob
- Do not cut directly on the worktop
- Watch the edges with heavy pans
Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, especially on laminate and wood.
A chip on an edge can grow, and on laminate, water can get into the core. Repairing it early stops that.

What a repair can’t fix
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
- A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
- Cracks right through stone that has moved

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Gulval. The price depends on:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Doing more than one item at once
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Email us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, with your TR18 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Questions from Gulval
Will the repair match a patterned worktop?
Yes. We recreate the pattern by hand.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Which areas do you work in?
All of Cornwall, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Do you come to Gulval?
We do. We send a technician to Gulval for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Are you accredited?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
What happens after I send photos?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
