Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Use a chopping board
- Oil wooden tops regularly
- Clean spills right away
- Never put hot pans down directly
Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.
Do not leave damage by the sink, because water gets in and swells the board.
Worktop repair in Minsterworth without replacing anything
You don’t need a new worktop because of one mark. We fill and refinish the damage to blend into the surface around it. We regularly repair solid wood, solid surface (such as Corian) and granite & marble, and people most frequently call us about a heat mark or burn and gouges in the surface.
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Gloucestershire.

Common problems we fix in Minsterworth
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.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Chips near the sink
- Cuts and scratches in the surface
- Dents and gouges
- Scorch marks from pans
What your quote should include
- How the colour is matched
- Aftercare advice
- How long it needs to cure
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
What we can’t put right
We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Laminate that has blown or swollen
- A top that moves on its units
- A cracked stone top that is unsupported
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Different materials, different repairs
Laminate
Laminate is a printed surface bonded to a board. Damage is filled and the pattern painted in by hand.
Solid surface
Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so scratches and burns can frequently be sanded out and refinished.

We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes a few hours. We leave the room clean.
- We protect the rest of the kitchen.
- The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
- It’s filled and levelled with the surface.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- We seal and polish it to the right sheen.
Preparing for the visit

What worktop repair costs
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Minsterworth. The price reflects:
- The type of damage

What else we do in Minsterworth
For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Repair or replace in Minsterworth?
A new worktop means removing the old one, templating and fitting a replacement and reconnecting the sink and hob, and matching the rest of the kitchen can be hard. A repair keeps your existing worktop. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
