Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
- Don’t let water sit on joints
- Oil wooden tops regularly
- Keep a trivet by the hob
Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, particularly with laminate and timber.
Edge chips can get bigger, and water can reach the core of laminate. An early repair prevents it.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

For landlords and businesses
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Greater Manchester and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
How it works
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- We start by checking the damage and the worktop material.
- Next we clean up and prepare the damaged area.
- We fill the damage with a suitable filler and build up any lost edge.
- We match the colour and pattern by hand.
- The surface is sealed or finished to suit the worktop.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Make sure the room can be ventilated

What your worktop is made of matters
Quartz
Quartz is crushed stone bound with resin. Edge chips are very common, and we fill and polish them to match the sheen.
Laminate
A laminate worktop is a thin decorative layer on a board. We fill damage and paint in the pattern by hand.

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
