DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
Different materials, different repairs
Wood
Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, with burns and dents put right.
Granite and stone
Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.

What else we do in Cottesmore
How to look after the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
- Oil wooden tops regularly
- Watch the edges with heavy pans
- Always use a trivet for hot pans
Let the repair cure for the time we give you before putting anything heavy or hot on it. After that, trivets and chopping boards protect it best.
A burn or chip can get worse with daily use particularly around the sink. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.
Cottesmore questions
Can you match granite flecks?
We match colour, flecks and veining by hand, for a repair that blends in.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Can a scorch mark be fixed?
Frequently, yes. The burn is cut back, filled and patterned to match.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
When to call us in Cottesmore
Kitchen worktops have a hard life. Hot pans scorch, knives cut, and edges chip when heavy pans or tins hit them.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Burns from hot pans
- A chipped quartz edge
- Chips on edges and corners
- A damaged sink edge

Repair or replace: which is better?
