Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Don’t cut directly on the worktop
- Don’t leave spills to soak in
- Take care with heavy pans near edges
- Dry around the sink and joints
Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe spills immediately, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.
Don’t leave damage by the sink, as water can get in and cause swelling.
About our worktop repair in Cathcart
Matching a pattern is the skilled part of a worktop repair. We build up the colour and flecks by hand so the repair blends in. Our repair technicians work on granite & marble, solid surface (such as Corian) and solid wood, and people most often call us about a heat mark or burn and a damaged sink edge.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Cathcart and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

For landlords and businesses
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
What we can’t put right
A repair is not right for every job, for example:
- Cracks right through stone that has moved
- Failed support under the worktop
- Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Quartz
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Laminate
- Granite & marble
- Solid wood
How it works
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- The area around the damage is protected.
- The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
- It’s filled and levelled with the surface.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- The repair is sealed and polished to match.
Preparing for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Let us know about parking or access

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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 isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
