Can I fix it myself?
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 frequently lifts.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
How we handle worktop repair in Heage
Worktops are expensive to replace and hard to match, especially in an L-shaped or long kitchen. Repairing the damage keeps your kitchen as it is. Common call-outs are for damage from fitting or building work and gouges in the surface, on granite & marble, solid wood and quartz.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Heage and across Derbyshire.

Advice
FAQs for Heage
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Do you cover the entire of Derbyshire?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Heage. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Do I need to empty the worktop?
Just near the damage. You can usually still use the rest of the kitchen.
Can you match the pattern on my worktop?
Colour, flecks and veins are recreated by hand, for a repair that blends in.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
What information do you need?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Can a scorch mark be fixed?
In most cases. A photo lets us check what’s possible.
Repairs by material
Solid surface
Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so marks can frequently be sanded and refinished.
Granite and stone
Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a worktop means taking out the damaged top, cutting and fitting a new one and refitting the sink and hob, and matching the rest of the kitchen can be hard. Repairing the damage leaves the worktop in place. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff:
- Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
- Do not let water sit on joints
- Always use a trivet for hot pans
- Wipe up spills quickly
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. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.
When a repair is not the answer
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Failed support under the worktop
- Laminate swollen by water from underneath
- Discolouration deep in quartz
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
