Worktop repair in Castle Hill, done in place
Pan burns, chipped edges and knife scratches make up most of our worktop work. All are repaired in place. If you are dealing with a heat mark or burn and chips in quartz or granite, we can usually put it right, on solid wood, solid surface (such as Corian) and quartz alike.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Solid surface
Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so scratches and burns can frequently be sanded out and refinished.
Quartz
Quartz is tough, though edges can chip. We fill chips with a tinted resin and polish them to the worktop’s finish.

Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Don’t cut directly on the worktop
- Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
- Watch the edges with heavy pans
- Re-oil timber worktops
Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe up spills promptly, and keep wooden tops oiled.
A chip on an edge can grow, and on laminate, water can get into the core. Repairing it early stops that.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Swollen or badly damaged laminate may need replacing. For chips, burns and scratches, repair is typically far better value. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
