- 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.

Advice
Should you replace it?
A new worktop means taking out the damaged top, templating and fitting a replacement and reconnecting the sink and hob, and matching the rest of the kitchen can be hard. A repair leaves the worktop in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Take care with heavy pans near edges
- Oil wooden tops regularly
- Do not leave spills to soak in
- Never put hot pans down directly
Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, particularly with laminate and timber.
Do not leave damage by the sink, as water can get in and cause swelling.
When we’d advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
- Discolouration deep in quartz
- Laminate swollen by water from underneath
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Solid wood
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Laminate
- Quartz
- Granite & marble
