What your worktop is made of matters
Quartz
Quartz is crushed stone bound with resin. We fill and polish chipped edges.
Solid surface
Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so marks can often be sanded and refinished.

For anyone letting property in or around Locking, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Your questions about worktop repair in Locking
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
When can you do it?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
How much do I need to move?
Just near the damage. The rest of the kitchen stays usable.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Can you match granite flecks?
We match colour, flecks and veining by hand, so the repair blends into the surface.

- We clean the area and prepare the edges of the damage.
- We fill with a filler suited to the material and rebuild any missing edge.
- We match the colour and pattern by hand.
- We seal or finish the surface to suit the worktop.

Advice
When a repair is not the answer
A repair is not right for every job, for example:
- A cracked stone top that’s unsupported
- Severe heat marks in quartz
- A top that moves on its units
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Laminate
- Quartz
- Granite & marble
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Solid wood
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.

Two or three clear photos are usually enough. Try to include:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Something in shot to show the size
- A wider photo showing the whole worktop
