Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

What we are called out for in Colton

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 gradually from knives and grit.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • Burns from hot pans
  • Scratches and knife marks
  • A dent from a dropped pan
  • Chips in quartz or granite

Questions to ask before you book

  • What aftercare is recommended
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Who turns up on the day
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

How to compare quotes

The process

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. The area around the damage is protected.
  2. We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
  3. We fill it and level it with the worktop.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed and polished to match.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Clear the area around the damage

Related advice

What a repair can’t fix

We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Failed support under the worktop
  • Discolouration deep in quartz
  • Water-swollen laminate

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

  • Solid surface (such as Corian)
  • Solid wood
  • Granite & marble
  • Quartz
  • Laminate

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Quartz

Quartz is tough, though edges can chip. We fill chips with a tinted resin and polish them to the worktop’s finish.

Granite and stone

Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.

How to care for the repair

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
  • Don’t leave spills to soak in
  • Oil wooden tops regularly
  • Take care with heavy pans near edges

Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe up spills promptly, and keep wooden tops oiled.

Edge chips can get bigger, and on laminate, water can get into the core. An early repair prevents it.
