How we handle worktop repair in Gustard Wood
You don’t need a new worktop because of one mark. The damage is filled and refinished so it blends into the pattern. We regularly repair solid wood, quartz and solid surface (such as Corian), and people most frequently call us about a heat mark or burn and damage to a stone worktop.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

What else we do in Gustard Wood
What affects the price in Gustard Wood
Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Gustard Wood. The price depends on:
- The material and finish
- How much damage there is
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How easy the damage is to reach
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One picture of the whole worktop
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
For landlords and businesses
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll arrange it.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Gustard Wood use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Re-oil timber worktops
- Clean spills straight away
- Take care with heavy pans near edges
- 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 are your best protection.
Do not leave damage by the sink, as water can get in and cause swelling.
Common questions in Gustard Wood
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Do you repair quartz?
Yes. We match the colour and polish the repair.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Can you match the pattern on my worktop?
Yes, the pattern is built up by hand so it blends in.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
What happens if you find more damage?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
How the visit works
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- 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.
- The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
- We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Ask for a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire worktop, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
