Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Advice
Repair or replace: which is better?
Stone and quartz tops are templated and cut to fit, so replacing a section takes time and money. Repairing it is a few hours’ work. Our worktop repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Keep wood oiled
- Don’t leave spills to soak in
- Keep joints and edges dry
- Never put hot pans down directly
Keep joints and the sink edge dry, especially on laminate and wood.
A burn or chip can get worse with daily use. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.
