How we handle worktop repair in Mildmay
Each type of worktop needs a different approach: we fill and pattern laminate, fill and polish quartz and stone, and sand and refinish wood. The goal is always a repair that blends in. Whether it’s a dent from a dropped pan and a heat mark or burn, we can usually put it right, on solid surface (such as Corian), quartz and granite & marble alike.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Do not leave spills to soak in
- Always use a trivet for hot pans
- Chopping boards prevent scratches
- Keep wood oiled
Leave the repaired area free of hot or heavy items until it has cured. After that, trivets and chopping boards are your best protection.
Do not leave damage by the sink, because water gets in and swells the board.
Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.
What we are called out for in Mildmay
Cut-outs for the sink and hob are the weakest parts, so cracks and chips often start there.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- Chipped corners
- A dent from a dropped pan
- Chips near the sink
- Scorch marks from pans
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Who will actually do the work
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
When we’d advise against a repair
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
- A top that moves on its units
- Through cracks in stone that is moving
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we work on in Mildmay

Common questions in Mildmay
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Are there extra charges for Mildmay?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Can a scorch mark be fixed?
Generally, yes. The burn is cut back, filled and patterned to match.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Can you match the pattern on my worktop?
Colour, flecks and veins are recreated by hand, for a repair that blends in.
What do you need from me?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
What affects the price in Mildmay
Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Mildmay. What changes the price is:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What the surface is made of
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How hard the colour is to match
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Mildmay. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Send photos for a quote
Two or three clear photos are typically enough. It helps if you send:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One picture of the entire worktop
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.
Should you replace it?
If the worktop is swollen by water or badly damaged along its length, replacement may be the answer. For chips, burns and scratches, a repair is the better value. Our worktop repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
