How the visit works
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes a few hours. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
- We cut back any burnt or loose material.
- We fill and shape the damaged area.
- We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
- It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know which floor the room is on
How to get a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Common problems we fix in Chilton
Most worktop damage takes a second: a hot pan put down without a trivet, or a heavy pan knocked against the edge. Scratches build up more slowly, from knives and grit.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Chips in quartz or granite
- A dent from a dropped pan
- Knife marks
- Scorch marks from pans
What your quote should include
- What prep work is covered
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Aftercare advice
- How long it needs to cure
Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Do not leave spills to soak in
- Use a chopping board
- Keep wood oiled
- Don’t knock pans against the edge
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, as water can get in and cause swelling.

What your worktop is made of matters
Granite and stone
Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.

Quartz worktops are mostly stone set in resin. Edge chips are very common, and we fill and polish them to match the sheen.
