What we do, step by step
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow a few hours, depending on the damage. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to care for it.
- We start by checking 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.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- We seal or finish the surface to suit the worktop.
Preparing for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Clear the area around the damage
How to get a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Do not let water sit on joints
- Steer clear of strong cleaners
- Watch the edges with heavy pans
- Chopping boards prevent scratches
Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, especially on laminate and wood.
Edge chips can get bigger, and on laminate, water can get into the core. An early repair prevents it.
Can I fix it myself?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
When a repair is not the answer
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Cracks right through stone that has moved
- A top that moves on its units
- Laminate swollen by water from underneath
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Laminate
- Quartz
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Granite & marble
- Solid wood
