How to care for the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Steer clear of strong cleaners
- Never put hot pans down directly
- Don’t let water sit on joints
- Use a chopping board
Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, especially on laminate and wood.
A chip on an edge can grow, and on laminate, water can get into the core. Repairing it early stops that.
What we cannot put right
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Discolouration deep in quartz
- A cracked stone top that’s unsupported
- Laminate swollen by water from underneath
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Different materials, different repairs
Laminate
Laminate worktops have a printed decorative layer over a board core. We fill the damage and recreate the pattern by hand.
Quartz
Quartz is hard, but its edges are brittle. Chips are filled with tinted resin and polished.
Why repair rather than replace?
Swollen or badly damaged laminate may need replacing. For chips, burns and scratches, repair is typically far better value. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
