Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Keep a trivet by the hob
- Wipe up spills quickly
- Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
- Keep joints and edges dry
Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.
A burn or chip can get worse with daily use, especially near the sink. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.
Worktop repair in Gillingham without replacing anything
Matching a pattern is the skilled part of a worktop repair. We build up the colour and flecks by hand so the repair blends in. Common call-outs are for damage to a stone worktop and chips near the sink, across granite & marble, quartz and solid surface (such as Corian).
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Repairs by material
Solid surface
Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so scratches and burns can frequently be sanded out and refinished.
Quartz
Quartz is tough, though edges can chip. Chips are filled with tinted resin and polished to the worktop’s finish.
Should you replace it?
Even if you could get the same laminate, it may not match after years of light and use. We match the repair to your worktop as it is today. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Why us?
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- A fixed quote before you book
- No extra charge for your area
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited

What we cannot put right
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- A top that moves on its units
- Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
- Laminate swollen by water from underneath
