Different materials, different repairs
Granite and stone
Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.
Laminate
Laminate worktops have a printed decorative layer over a board core. We fill the damage and recreate the pattern.

Laminate, quartz, granite, solid surface and wooden worktops can all be repaired, matching the colour and pattern by hand. The worktop stays in place. We are frequently asked to fix chipped corners and damage to a stone worktop, on solid surface (such as Corian), laminate and granite & marble.

Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Keep a trivet by the hob
- Keep joints and edges dry
- Watch the edges with heavy pans
- Wipe up spills quickly
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 particularly around the sink. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
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.
Castle Acre: your questions answered
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
Do I need to clear the kitchen?
Only around the repair. You can usually still use the rest of the kitchen.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Do you repair quartz?
Yes. We repair quartz chips regularly, matched and polished.
Are you accredited?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
When a repair isn’t the answer
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Cracks right through stone that has moved
- Discolouration deep in quartz
- A top that moves on its units
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
What we work on
