Worktop repair in Castleshaw, done in place
Each type of worktop needs a different approach: we fill and pattern laminate, fill and polish quartz and stone, and sand and refinish wood. We always aim for a repair that blends in. We work on solid surface (such as Corian), solid wood and granite & marble, and common reasons people contact us are scratches and knife marks and a chipped quartz edge.

Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. 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 pictures.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

How to look after the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Chopping boards prevent scratches
- Oil wooden tops regularly
- Wipe up spills quickly
- Always use a trivet for hot pans
Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.
Don’t leave damage by the sink, because water gets in and swells the board.
How it works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. You can expect it to take a few hours, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
- Burnt or loose material is cut back.
- We fill and shape the damaged area.
- We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
- We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let us know about parking or access
- Make sure the room can be ventilated

When a repair isn’t the answer
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Laminate swollen by water from underneath
- Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
- Failed support under the worktop
