DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Granite and stone
Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.
Solid surface
Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so marks can often be sanded and refinished.
Repairing versus replacing in Hook End
Even if you could get the same laminate, it may not match after years of light and use. A repair is matched to what you have now. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

What a repair cannot fix
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- A top that moves on its units
- Laminate that has blown or swollen
- Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
