Different materials, different repairs
Quartz
Quartz is crushed stone bound with resin. We fill and polish chipped edges.
Wood
Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, with burns and dents put right.
When we would advise against a repair
A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- Discolouration deep in quartz
- A top that moves on its units
- Laminate swollen by water from underneath
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Solid wood
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Quartz
- Granite & marble
- Laminate
Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Keep a trivet by the hob
- Chopping boards prevent scratches
- Do not knock pans against the edge
- Steer clear of strong cleaners
Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe spills right away, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.
A burn or chip can get worse with daily use. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.

How it works

- We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
- We cut back any burnt or loose material.
- The area is filled and shaped.
- We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
- We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.

Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
