How to look after the repair
It’s all simple stuff:
- Clean spills right away
- Dry around the sink and joints
- Always use a trivet for hot pans
- Steer clear of strong cleaners
Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, particularly with laminate and timber.
Daily use can make burns and chips worse, especially near the sink. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.

DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
When to call us in Lower Upnor
Worktops take more punishment than anything else in the kitchen. Hot pans leave burns, knives cut, and heavy pans chip the edges.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Knife marks
- Chips on edges and corners
- Chips near the sink
- A dent from a dropped pan

Repairs by material
Laminate
A laminate worktop is a thin decorative layer on a board. We fill damage and paint in the pattern by hand.
Solid surface
Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so scratches and burns can often be sanded out and refinished.
What we do, step by step
On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.
- We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
- Burnt or loose material is cut back.
- We fill and shape the damaged area.
- The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
- It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Point us to the nearest place to park
