How to care for the repair
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Always use a trivet for hot pans
- Clean spills immediately
- Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
- Chopping boards prevent scratches
Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe spills right away, and keep wooden tops oiled.
Edge chips can get bigger, and on laminate, water can get into the core. Repairing it early stops that.
Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
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.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Laminate
Laminate worktops have a printed decorative layer over a board core. Chips and burns are filled and the pattern recreated by hand.
Wood
Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, with burns and dents put right.
When a repair isn’t the answer
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Failed support under the worktop
- Through cracks in stone that is moving
- Laminate swollen by water from underneath
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair
- Quartz
- Granite & marble
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Solid wood
- Laminate
Repair or replace: which is better?
An identical replacement may look different next to aged worktops. We match the repair to your worktop as it is today. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
