Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
Worktop repair at your home in East Kilbride
A new worktop rarely matches the old one, especially in an L-shaped or long kitchen. Repairing the damage keeps your kitchen as it is. Typical jobs include a chipped edge and damage around the sink cut-out, on solid surface (such as Corian), quartz and laminate.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Quartz
Quartz is tough, though edges can chip. Chips are filled with tinted resin and polished.
Solid surface
Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so scratches and burns can frequently be sanded out and refinished.

Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep wood oiled
- Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
- Dry around the sink and joints
- Wipe up spills quickly
Leave the repaired area free of hot or heavy items until it has cured. After that, trivets and chopping boards protect it best.
Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, because water gets in and swells the board.
