- Burnt or loose material is cut back.

Getting ready for the visit

Advice
Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
How to look after the repair
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Keep a trivet by the hob
- Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
- Chopping boards prevent scratches
- Watch the edges with heavy pans
Leave the repaired area free of hot or heavy items until it has cured. After that, trivets and chopping boards protect it best.
Edge chips can get bigger, and on laminate, water can get into the core. An early repair prevents it.
Repairing versus replacing in Longton
Stone and quartz tops are templated and cut to fit, so replacing one section is a big job. A repair takes a few hours. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What your worktop is made of matters

Laminate
Laminate worktops have a printed decorative layer over a board core. Chips and burns are filled and the pattern recreated.
