What your worktop is made of matters
Quartz
Quartz is crushed stone bound with resin. Edge chips are very common, and we fill and polish them to match the sheen.
Solid surface
Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so marks can often be sanded and refinished.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Cookham
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Cookham questions
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Will the repair match a patterned worktop?
Yes. We recreate the pattern by hand.
Do you repair quartz?
Yes. Chips on edges and around the sink are very common repairs, filled and polished to match.
Do you come to Cookham?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Cookham and the rest of Windsor and Maidenhead. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Do I need to empty the worktop?
Just near the damage. The rest of the kitchen stays usable.
How to look after the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Keep wood oiled
- Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
- Always use a trivet for hot pans
- Clean spills immediately
Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.
Edge chips can get bigger, and on laminate, water can get into the core. An early repair prevents it.

Should you replace it?
If the worktop is swollen by water or badly damaged along its length, replacement may be the answer. For chips, burns and scratches, a repair is the better value. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Doing more than one item at once
- What kind of damage it is
- The material
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
How to get a fixed price
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A wider photo showing the entire worktop
- Any details about the material
Upload a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Cookham, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
