Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Aftercare tips

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Re-oil timber worktops
  • Clean spills right away
  • Don’t let water sit on joints
  • Steer clear of strong cleaners

Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.

A chip on an edge can grow, and on laminate, water can get into the core. An early repair prevents it.

What happens on the day

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. First we look at the damage and what the worktop is made of.
  2. Next we clean up and prepare the damaged area.
  3. We fill with a filler suited to the material and rebuild any missing edge.
  4. The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
  5. We seal or finish the surface to suit the worktop.

Before we arrive

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

How to get a price

Related advice

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Granite and stone

Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.

Quartz

Quartz is crushed stone bound with resin. Edge chips are very common, and we fill and polish them to match the sheen.

What a repair can’t fix

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Severe heat marks in quartz
  • Through cracks in stone that is moving
  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
