Wood
Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, and burns and dents repaired.
Quartz
Quartz is hard, but its edges are brittle. We fill chips with a tinted resin and polish them.

What we do, step by step
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes a few hours. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.
- First we look at the damage and what the worktop is made of.
- Next we clean up and prepare the damaged area.
- We fill with a filler suited to the material and rebuild any missing edge.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- Finally we seal or finish the area to match.
Before we arrive
- Open a window if you can
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Eckington questions
Can a scorch mark be fixed?
Typically. A photo lets us check.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do you cover Eckington?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Eckington and the rest of Derbyshire. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Do I need to empty the worktop?
Only around the repair. You can typically still use the rest of the kitchen.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Can you match granite flecks?
Yes, the pattern is built up by hand.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Re-oil timber worktops
- Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
- Do not cut directly on the worktop
- Don’t let water sit on joints
Let the repair cure for the time we give you before putting anything heavy or hot on it. After that, trivets and chopping boards protect it best.
Don’t leave damage by the sink, because water gets in and swells the board.
When we would advise against a repair
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- Failed support under the worktop
- Cracks right through stone that has moved
- Laminate swollen by water from underneath
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we work on in Eckington
- Solid surface (such as Corian)

For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
