Repairs by material

Quartz

Quartz is hard, but its edges are brittle. Chips are filled with tinted resin and polished.

Laminate

Laminate is a printed surface bonded to a board. Damage is filled and the pattern painted in by hand.

About our worktop repair in Hardstoft

Each type of worktop needs a different approach: we fill and pattern laminate, fill and polish quartz and stone, and sand and refinish wood. We always aim for a repair that blends in. Our technicians work on solid wood, granite & marble and solid surface (such as Corian), and common reasons people contact us are knife marks and damage to a stone worktop.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Keeping it looking good

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
  • Never put hot pans down directly
  • Wipe up spills quickly
  • Take care with heavy pans near edges

Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.

Edge chips can get bigger, and water can reach the core of laminate. An early repair prevents it.

How the visit works

There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, depending on the damage, tidy-up included.

  1. The area around the damage is protected.
  2. We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
  3. It’s filled and levelled with the surface.
  4. The colour and pattern are built up by hand.
  5. We seal and polish it to the right sheen.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

When a repair isn’t the answer

We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Discolouration deep in quartz
  • Through cracks in stone that is moving
  • Water-swollen laminate

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we work on in Hardstoft

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
