Repairs by material
Solid surface
Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so scratches and burns can frequently be sanded out and refinished.
Quartz
Quartz worktops are mostly stone set in resin. Edge chips are very common, and we fill and polish them to match the sheen.

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t fix:

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Keep joints and edges dry
- Wipe up spills quickly
- Keep wood oiled
- Steer clear of strong cleaners
Let the repair cure for the time we give you before putting anything heavy or hot on it. After that, trivets and chopping boards are your best protection.
Don’t leave damage by the sink, because water gets in and swells the board.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
What happens on the day
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First we look at the damage and what the worktop is made of.
- We clean the area and prepare the edges of the damage.
- We fill the damage with a suitable filler and build up any lost edge.
- The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
- The surface is sealed or finished to suit the worktop.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Ensure the area is dry
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Getting a price

Related advice
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a worktop means removing the old one, templating and fitting a replacement and refitting the sink and hob, and matching the rest of the kitchen can be hard. Repairing the damage keeps your existing worktop. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Your questions about worktop repair in High Cross
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
