Worktop repair in Far Forest without replacing anything
Different worktops need different repairs: 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. Common call-outs are for chips caused during installation and a chipped quartz edge, on solid wood, granite & marble and solid surface (such as Corian).
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it.

Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Chopping boards prevent scratches
- Wipe up spills quickly
- Oil wooden tops regularly
- Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
Let the repair cure for the time we give you before putting anything heavy or hot on it. After that, trivets and chopping boards are your best protection.
Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, as water can get in and cause swelling.
What we do, step by step
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
- Burnt or loose material is cut back.
- The area is filled and shaped.
- We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
- It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Make sure the area is dry
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Have a window or extractor fan available

Advice
What we can’t put right
We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Severe heat marks in quartz
- A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
- A cracked stone top that is unsupported
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Solid wood
- Granite & marble
- Quartz
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Laminate
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Laminate
Laminate is a printed surface bonded to a board. Damage is filled and the pattern painted in by hand.
Solid surface
Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so scratches and burns can often be sanded out and refinished.
