About our worktop repair in Craobh Haven
You do not need a new worktop because of one mark. We fill and refinish the damage to blend into the surface around it. If you’re dealing with dents and gouges and damage around the sink cut-out, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.
Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple:
- Take care with heavy pans near edges
- Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
- Never put hot pans down directly
- Do not leave spills to soak in
Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe spills immediately, and keep wooden tops oiled.
A chip on an edge can grow, and water can reach the core of laminate. Repairing it early stops that.
What happens on the day
Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Allow a few hours, depending on the damage. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to look after it.
- We protect the rest of the kitchen.
- The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
- It’s filled and levelled with the surface.
- The colour and pattern are built up by hand.
- The repair is sealed and polished to match.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know about parking or access
How to get a price
Upload pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your PA31 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Advice
What we can’t put right
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Cracks right through stone that has moved
- Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
- Laminate that has blown or swollen
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Laminate
- Quartz
- Solid wood
- Granite & marble
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Repairs by material
Solid surface
Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so marks can often be sanded and refinished.
Quartz
Quartz is crushed stone bound with resin. Edge chips are very common, and we fill and polish them to match the sheen.
Craobh Haven: your questions answered
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Are there extra charges for Craobh Haven?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
What do you need from me?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
