- Repairs from £95
- A chipped quartz edge

Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
- Use a chopping board
- Clean spills right away
- Oil wooden tops regularly
Let the repair cure for the time we give you before putting anything heavy or hot on it. After that, trivets and chopping boards are your best protection.
Do not leave damage by the sink, because water gets in and swells the board.
About our worktop repair in Catrine
You don’t need a new worktop because of one mark. We fill and refinish the damage so it blends into the pattern. Our technicians work on laminate, granite & marble and solid wood, and the jobs we see most are chips near the sink and gouges in the surface.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

Should you replace it?
Replacing even one length of worktop means templating, cutting, fitting and frequently a new sink and hob connection. A repair takes a few hours and leaves everything in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 won’t last.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
