What else we do in Ab Kettleby
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Chopping boards prevent scratches
- Keep wood oiled
- Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
- Watch the edges with heavy pans
Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe spills straight away, and keep wooden tops oiled.
Edge chips can get bigger, and on laminate, water can get into the core. Repairing it early stops that.
When to call us in Ab Kettleby
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.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- A dent from a dropped pan
- Burns from hot pans
- Damage from fitting or building work
- Cuts and scratches in the surface

Ab Kettleby: your questions answered
Do you come to Ab Kettleby?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Ab Kettleby from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.
Can you repair a burn in a worktop?
Normally. Send us a photo and we’ll tell you what’s possible.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Can you repair a chipped quartz worktop?
Yes. We repair quartz chips regularly, filled and polished to match.
DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

What your worktop is made of matters
Quartz
Quartz is tough, though edges can chip. Chips are filled with tinted resin and polished.
Wood
Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, and burns and dents repaired.
Why repair rather than replace?
Swollen or badly damaged laminate may need replacing. For chips, burns and scratches, repair is normally far better value. Prices start from £95. 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 make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

- We start by checking the damage and the worktop material.
- We clean the area and prepare the edges of the damage.
- We fill the damage with a suitable filler and build up any lost edge.
- The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
- Finally we seal or finish the area to match.
How to prepare
