Materials and what they mean for the repair
Laminate
A laminate worktop is a thin decorative layer on a board. Damage is filled and the pattern painted in by hand.
Wood
Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, and burns and dents repaired.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
Do you need worktop repair in Gunnista?
Water around the sink can get into laminate and wood joints, which can cause swelling.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Damage around the sink cut-out
- Chipped corners
- Chips caused during installation
- A heat mark or burn

Why repair rather than replace?
Even if you could get the same laminate, it may not match after years of light and use. We match the repair to your worktop as it is today. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

How to look after the repair
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Watch the edges with heavy pans
- Re-oil timber worktops
- Don’t leave spills to soak in
- Use a chopping board
Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.
Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, as water can get in and cause swelling.
When a repair is not the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- Cracks right through stone that has moved
- Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
- Water-swollen laminate
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

The process
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a few hours. We leave the room clean.
- First we look at the damage and what the worktop is made of.
- We clean the area and prepare the edges of the damage.
- We fill with a filler suited to the material and rebuild any missing edge.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- The surface is sealed or finished to suit the worktop.
How to prepare
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
How to get a price
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
Advice
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Gunnista. The price depends on:
- The type of damage
- The colour and finish to match
- Doing more than one item at once
- How many areas need work
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Gunnista. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
How to get a fixed quote
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Something in shot to show the size
- One picture of the entire worktop
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole worktop, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Questions from Gunnista
Do I need to clear the kitchen?
Only around the repair. The rest of the kitchen stays usable.
Can you match the pattern on my worktop?
We match colour, flecks and veining by hand, for a repair that blends in.
How do I get a price for worktop repair in Gunnista?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Which areas do you work in?
The whole UK, including all of the Shetland Islands. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll offer you dates.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Do you repair quartz?
Yes. Chips on edges and around the sink are very common repairs, matched and polished.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
