DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
About our worktop repair in Common Side
Each type of worktop needs a different approach: we fill and pattern laminate, fill and polish quartz and stone, and sand and refinish wood. We always aim for a repair that blends in. We’re frequently asked to fix a dent from a dropped pan and damage to a stone worktop, on solid surface (such as Corian), laminate and quartz.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Granite and stone
Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.
Quartz
Quartz is crushed stone bound with resin. Edge chips are very common, and we fill and polish them.
How to care for the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- 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
Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe spills right away, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.
Edge chips can get bigger, and on laminate, water can get into the core. Repairing it early stops that.

When a repair is not the answer

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
