Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Worktop repair in Grovesend, done in place
A new worktop rarely matches the old one, especially in an L-shaped or long kitchen. Repairing the damage keeps your kitchen as it is. Typical jobs include damage around the sink cut-out and a chipped edge, across solid wood, laminate and granite & marble.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Don’t cut directly on the worktop
- Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
- Always use a trivet for hot pans
- Take care with heavy pans near edges
Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe spills right away, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.
Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, as water can get in and cause swelling.
