Repair or replace: which is better?
If the worktop is swollen by water or badly damaged along its length, replacement may be the answer. For chips, burns and scratches, repair is normally far better value. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Don’t leave spills to soak in
- Use a chopping board
- Keep a trivet by the hob
- Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
Leave the repaired area free of hot or heavy items until it has cured. After that, trivets and chopping boards are your best protection.
A chip on an edge can grow, and water can reach the core of laminate. Repairing it early stops that.
Repairs by material
Wood
Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, and burns and dents repaired.
Quartz
Quartz is hard, but its edges are brittle. We fill chips with a tinted resin and polish them to the worktop’s finish.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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 won’t last.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

How the visit works
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
- We cut back any burnt or loose material.
- The area is filled and shaped.
- The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
- We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Make sure the area is dry
- Point us to the nearest place to park
