Worktop repair in Branthwaite without replacing anything
A new worktop rarely matches the old one, especially in an L-shaped or long kitchen. Repairing the damage keeps your kitchen as it is. Whether it’s gouges in the surface and chips near the sink, we can usually put it right, on laminate, quartz and solid surface (such as Corian) alike.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
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, and the work is guaranteed.
Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Do not knock pans against the edge
- Don’t let water sit on joints
- Re-oil timber worktops
- Use a chopping board
Leave the repaired area free of hot or heavy items until it has cured. After that, trivets and chopping boards are your best protection.
Edge chips can get bigger, and on laminate, water can get into the core. Repairing it early stops that.
