Advice
Worktop repair at your home in Kip Hill
You don’t need a new worktop because of one mark. We fill and refinish the damage to blend into the surface around it. If you’re dealing with scorch marks from pans and chips caused during installation, we can help, on solid wood, solid surface (such as Corian) and granite & marble alike.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

What your worktop is made of matters
Laminate
Laminate is a printed surface bonded to a board. We fill damage and paint in the pattern by hand.
Quartz
Quartz is crushed stone bound with resin. Edge chips are very common, and we fill and polish them.
Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Take care with heavy pans near edges
- Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
- Wipe up spills quickly
- Keep joints and edges dry
Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.
A burn or chip can get worse with daily use. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.

Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
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 typically the cheaper route.
