How to look after the repair
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Use a chopping board
- Keep joints and edges dry
- Do not knock pans against the edge
- Keep a trivet by the hob
Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.
Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, as water can get in and cause swelling.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Honest limits
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Cracks right through stone that has moved
- Laminate swollen by water from underneath
- Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Granite & marble
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Quartz
- Solid wood
- Laminate
What your worktop is made of matters
Granite and stone
Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.
Laminate
Laminate is a printed surface bonded to a board. We fill damage and paint in the pattern by hand.
What affects the price in Lower Bush
Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Send photos for a quote
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- What it’s made of, if you know
For a price in Lower Bush, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
