Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
Worktop repair in Nuthurst without replacing anything
Pan burns, chipped edges and knife scratches make up most of our worktop work. All are repaired in place. We are frequently asked to fix a dent from a dropped pan and a heat mark or burn, in quartz, solid surface (such as Corian) and solid wood.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in West Sussex.

Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Take care with heavy pans near edges
- Keep wood oiled
- Never put hot pans down directly
- Steer clear of strong cleaners
Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.
A burn or chip can get worse with daily use, especially near the sink. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Solid surface
Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so marks can frequently be sanded and refinished.
Wood
Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, with burns and dents put right.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Stone and quartz have to be templated and cut, so replacing a section takes time and money. Repairing it is a few hours’ work. Prices start from £95. 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.
