How to look after the repair
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Do not leave spills to soak in
- Oil wooden tops regularly
- Do not knock pans against the edge
- Keep a trivet by the hob
Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe up spills promptly, and keep wooden tops oiled.
Edge chips can get bigger, and water can reach the core of laminate. An early repair prevents it.

What we do, step by step
Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Repairs by material
Quartz
Quartz worktops are mostly stone set in resin. We fill and polish chipped edges to match the sheen.
Laminate
Laminate is a printed surface bonded to a board. We fill damage and paint in the pattern by hand.
Should you replace it?
Even a single new length of worktop means templating, cutting and refitting the sink and hob. A repair is a few hours with everything left in place. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Collin. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
