What we’re called out for in Mackerel's Common
Edges and corners chip most frequently, normally from pans, tins or dishes knocked against them.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Cuts and scratches in the surface
- Chips near the sink
- Burns from hot pans
- Chips caused during installation
Questions to ask before you book
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Who will actually do the work
- Aftercare advice
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best:
- Watch the edges with heavy pans
- Do not let water sit on joints
- Always use a trivet for hot pans
- Chopping boards prevent scratches
Keep joints and the sink edge dry, particularly with laminate and timber.
A burn or chip can get worse with daily use. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.

Laminate
A laminate worktop is a thin decorative layer on a board. We fill damage and paint in the pattern by hand.
Quartz
Quartz worktops are mostly stone set in resin. We fill and polish chipped edges.
What we cannot put right
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
- Laminate that has blown or swollen
- A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
