Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Always use a trivet for hot pans
- Steer clear of strong cleaners
- Re-oil timber worktops
- Do not cut directly on the worktop
Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.
Do not leave damage by the sink, as water can get in and cause swelling.

What your worktop is made of matters

Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.
Solid surface
Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so marks can frequently be sanded and refinished.
Candy Mill questions
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Is a burnt worktop repairable?
Normally, yes. The burn is cut back, filled and patterned to match.
Can you repair a chipped quartz worktop?
Yes. We repair quartz chips regularly, filled and polished to match.
Can you match granite flecks?
Yes, the pattern is built up by hand so it blends in.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
How much does worktop repair cost in Candy Mill?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
For landlords and businesses
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
If you manage property in Candy Mill, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.
Honest limits
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:
- Failed support under the worktop
- Laminate that has blown or swollen
- Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear

How we price worktop repair
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- The colour and finish to match
- How many areas need work
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
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 make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send photos for a quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Natural light rather than flash
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole worktop, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
