About our worktop repair in Howick Cross

You don’t need a new worktop because of one mark. We fill and refinish the damage so it blends into the pattern. We’re frequently asked to fix a dent from a dropped pan and a damaged sink edge, on solid surface (such as Corian), quartz and laminate.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back.

Aftercare tips

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Always use a trivet for hot pans
  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
  • Keep joints and edges dry
  • Wipe up spills quickly

Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.

Edge chips can get bigger, and on laminate, water can get into the core. Repairing it early stops that.

Do you need worktop repair in Howick Cross?

Water around the sink can get into laminate and wood joints, which can cause swelling.

Most people contact us when they notice something like this:

  • Chips in quartz or granite
  • Chips caused during installation
  • Damage around the sink cut-out
  • Cuts and scratches in the surface

How to compare quotes

How it works

When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
  2. We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
  3. We fill it and level it with the worktop.
  4. The colour and pattern are built up by hand.
  5. We seal and polish it to the right sheen.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

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.
