Worktop repair in Dumbiedykes without replacing anything
You don’t need a new worktop because of one mark. The damage is filled and refinished so it blends into the pattern. Common call-outs are for scorch marks from pans and chips near the sink, in solid wood, solid surface (such as Corian) and quartz.
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Quartz
Quartz is tough, though edges can chip. Chips are filled with tinted resin and polished to the worktop’s finish.
Granite and stone
Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.
How the visit works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
- We cut back any burnt or loose material.
- The area is filled and shaped.
- The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
- It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.
Before we arrive

- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
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.

- What kind of damage it is

The worst damage frequently happens in a moment: a hot pan put down without a trivet, or a heavy pan knocked against the edge. Scratches build up gradually from knives and grit.

- Knife marks
- A chipped quartz edge

What we can’t put right
A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
- Through cracks in stone that is moving
- Severe heat marks in quartz
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Quartz
- Granite & marble
- Solid wood
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Laminate
How to care for the repair
It’s all simple stuff:
- Take care with heavy pans near edges
- Use a chopping board
- Never put hot pans down directly
- Re-oil timber worktops
Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe spills immediately, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.
Edge chips can get bigger, and on laminate, water can get into the core. Repairing it early stops that.
