Worktop repair in Abbotts Barton, done in place
A damaged worktop does not have to mean a new kitchen. We fill and refinish the damage to blend into the surface around it. We regularly repair solid wood, granite & marble and laminate, and the jobs we see most are a chipped edge and chips near the sink.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

How it works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- First we look at the damage and what the worktop is made of.
- The area is cleaned and the edges of the damage prepared.
- A filler that suits the material goes in, and missing edges are rebuilt.
- The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
- Finally we seal or finish the area to match.
How to prepare
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

What a repair can’t fix
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- A cracked stone top that is unsupported
- Water-swollen laminate
- Failed support under the worktop
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we work on in Abbotts Barton
- Granite & marble
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Solid wood
- Laminate
- Quartz
How to care for the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Watch the edges with heavy pans
- Don’t let water sit on joints
- Do not leave spills to soak in
- Steer clear of strong cleaners
Let the repair cure for the time we give you before putting anything heavy or hot on it. After that, trivets and chopping boards protect it best.
Daily use can make burns and chips worse, especially near the sink. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.
DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What your worktop is made of matters
Laminate
Laminate is a printed surface over a board. Chips and burns are filled and the pattern recreated.
Solid surface
Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so scratches and burns can frequently be sanded out and refinished.
