Materials and what they mean for the repair

Solid surface

Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so scratches and burns can frequently be sanded out and refinished.

Quartz

Quartz worktops are mostly stone set in resin. We fill and polish chipped edges to match the sheen.

Worktop repair in Daw's End, done in place

Each type of worktop needs a different approach: we fill and pattern laminate, fill and polish quartz and stone, and sand and refinish wood. The goal is always a repair that blends in. We’re often asked to fix a chipped edge and a damaged sink edge, across granite & marble, laminate and quartz.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

When we’d advise against a repair

A repair is not right for every job, including:

  • A cracked stone top that’s unsupported
  • Failed support under the worktop
  • Laminate that has blown or swollen

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

Materials we repair

  • Quartz
  • Solid surface (such as Corian)
  • Solid wood
  • Laminate
  • Granite & marble

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Daw's End: your questions answered

Can a scorch mark be fixed?

In most cases. A picture lets us check what’s possible.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

How much does worktop repair cost in Daw's End?

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your SG9 postcode.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

The process

Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a morning or an afternoon. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to care for it.

  1. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
  2. The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
  3. We fill it and level it with the worktop.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal and polish it to the right sheen.

Before we arrive

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Ask for a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Our hiring checklist

Looking after it afterwards

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Don’t cut directly on the worktop
  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
  • Keep joints and edges dry
  • Wipe up spills quickly

Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe up spills promptly, and keep wooden tops oiled.

Don’t leave damage by the sink, as water can get in and cause swelling.
