Aftercare tips

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

  • Always use a trivet for hot pans
  • Chopping boards prevent scratches
  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
  • Keep wood oiled

Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.

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

How the visit works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes a few hours, depending on the damage for most jobs. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. First we look at the damage and what the worktop is made of.
  2. We clean the area and prepare the edges of the damage.
  3. We fill the damage with a suitable filler and build up any lost edge.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The surface is sealed or finished to suit the worktop.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Related advice

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

When to call us in Horns Mill

The worst damage frequently happens in a moment: a hot pan set straight down, or a heavy pan catching the edge. Scratches build up more slowly, from knives and grit.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • Dents and gouges
  • Snagging damage in a new kitchen
  • Chipped corners
  • Chips near the sink

Our hiring checklist

What affects the price in Horns Mill

Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What kind of damage it is
  • What the surface is made of
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Send pictures for a quote

Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One picture of the whole worktop
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire worktop, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

What your worktop is made of matters

Solid surface

Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, 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.

When we’d advise against a repair

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • Laminate that has blown or swollen
  • Failed support under the worktop
  • Severe heat marks in quartz

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

What we work on

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