Repairs by material
Solid surface
Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so scratches and burns can often be sanded out and refinished.
Quartz
Quartz is tough, though edges can chip. We fill chips with a tinted resin and polish them.
Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
- Never put hot pans down directly
- Dry around the sink and joints
- Oil wooden tops regularly
Leave the repaired area free of hot or heavy items until it has cured. After that, trivets and chopping boards are your best protection.
A chip on an edge can grow, and on laminate, water can get into the core. Repairing it early stops that.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

If you manage property in Akebar, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.
