DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
What your worktop is made of matters
Solid surface
Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so scratches and burns can frequently be sanded out and refinished.
Quartz
Quartz is hard, but its edges are brittle. We fill chips with a tinted resin and polish them to the worktop’s finish.

Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Chopping boards prevent scratches
- Dry around the sink and joints
- Keep a trivet by the hob
- Keep wood oiled
Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe up spills promptly, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.
Daily use can make burns and chips worse, especially near the sink. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.
What we do, step by step
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage.
- The area around the damage is protected.
- We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
- It’s filled and levelled with the surface.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- The repair is sealed and polished to match.
How to prepare
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Let us know about parking or access
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Quartz

Should you replace it?
