  • A top that moves on its units

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

  • Quartz
  • Granite & marble
  • Solid wood
  • Laminate
  • Solid surface (such as Corian)

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

What we do, step by step

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. The area around the damage is protected.
  2. The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
  3. We fill it and level it with the worktop.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal and polish it to the right sheen.

How to prepare

  • Open a window if you can
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let us know about parking or access

Advice

Repairs by material

Solid surface

Granite and stone

Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.

  • Dents and gouges
  • Cuts and scratches in the surface

How to compare quotes

Looking after it afterwards

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Don’t cut directly on the worktop
  • Take care with heavy pans near edges
  • Steer clear of strong cleaners
  • Wipe up spills quickly

Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, particularly with laminate and timber.

A burn or chip can get worse with daily use, especially near the sink. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.
