About our worktop repair in Downe
Different worktops need different repairs: 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 damage around the sink cut-out and cuts and scratches in the surface, on solid surface (such as Corian), quartz and solid wood.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

When a repair is not the answer
We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Laminate swollen by water from underneath
- Severe heat marks in quartz
- Cracks right through stone that has moved
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we work on in Downe
- Quartz
- Granite & marble
- Solid wood
- Laminate
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Never put hot pans down directly
- Re-oil timber worktops
- Keep joints and edges dry
- Use a chopping board
Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe spills immediately, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.
Edge chips can get bigger, and water can reach the core of laminate. Repairing it early stops that.
Repairs by material
Granite and stone
Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.
Laminate
Laminate is a printed surface bonded to a board. Damage is filled and the pattern painted in by hand.
Downe: your questions answered
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

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

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
