How we handle worktop repair in East Lexham
Each type of worktop needs a different approach: laminate is filled and patterned, quartz and stone are filled and polished, and wood is sanded and refinished. We always aim for a repair that blends in. We work on quartz, solid wood and granite & marble, and the jobs we see most are cuts and scratches in the surface and scorch marks from pans.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
- Wipe up spills quickly
- Re-oil timber worktops
- Take care with heavy pans near edges
Keep joints and the sink edge dry, particularly with laminate and timber.
Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, as water can get in and cause swelling.

How the visit works
Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow a few hours, depending on the damage from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to look after it.
- We assess the damage and the worktop material.
- We clean the area and prepare the edges of the damage.
- A filler that suits the material goes in, and missing edges are rebuilt.
- The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
- The surface is sealed or finished to suit the worktop.
Preparing for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.

When we would advise against a repair
A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- A top that moves on its units
- Laminate swollen by water from underneath
- Discolouration deep in quartz
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we work on in East Lexham
- Granite & marble
- Solid wood
- Quartz
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Laminate
What your worktop is made of matters
Quartz
Quartz worktops are mostly stone set in resin. Edge chips are very common, and we fill and polish them.
Laminate
Laminate worktops have a printed decorative layer over a board core. We fill the damage and recreate the pattern.
