Worktop repair at your home in Ipswich
We repair chips, burns and scratches in laminate, stone, quartz, solid surface and wooden worktops, with colour and pattern matched by hand. The worktop stays in place. We regularly repair granite & marble, quartz and solid wood, and common reasons people contact us are a chipped quartz edge and cuts and scratches in the surface.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.
What we cannot put right
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Cracks right through stone that has moved
- Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
- A worktop that has moved because its support has failed

DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Common problems we fix in Ipswich
Most worktop damage takes a second: a hot pan put down without a trivet, or a heavy pan knocked against the edge. Scratches build up gradually from knives and grit.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Scratches and knife marks
- A heat mark or burn
- A chipped quartz edge
- A chipped edge
