- Damage from fitting or building work

How to look after the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Use a chopping board
- Don’t leave spills to soak in
- Keep joints and edges dry
- Steer clear of strong cleaners
Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe up spills promptly, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.
A burn or chip can get worse with daily use. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.
Worktop repair in Carley Hill without replacing anything
Matching a pattern is the skilled part of a worktop repair. Colour, flecks and veining are recreated by hand so the repair blends in. We work on laminate, quartz and solid wood, and people most often call us about a chipped quartz edge and damage around the sink cut-out.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

How it works
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. You can expect it to take a few hours, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- First we look at the damage and what the worktop is made of.
- Next we clean up and prepare the damaged area.
- We fill with a filler suited to the material and rebuild any missing edge.
- We match the colour and pattern by hand.
- The surface is sealed or finished to suit the worktop.
Preparing for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let us know about parking or access
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Advice
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Signs you need worktop repair in Carley Hill
