About our worktop repair in Old Down
You don’t need a new worktop because of one mark. We fill and refinish the damage so it blends into the pattern. We are frequently asked to fix chips near the sink and a dent from a dropped pan, on solid surface (such as Corian), granite & marble and solid wood.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it.

Common problems we fix in Old Down
Most worktop damage takes a second: a hot pan set straight down, or a heavy pan catching the edge. Scratches build up more slowly, from knives and grit.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- A heat mark or burn
- Snagging damage in a new kitchen
- Damage around the sink cut-out
- Chipped corners

Different materials, different repairs
Quartz
Quartz is hard, but its edges are brittle. Chips are filled with tinted resin and polished to the worktop’s finish.
Solid surface
Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so marks can frequently be sanded and refinished.

Materials we work on in Old Down
- Solid wood
- Quartz
- Laminate
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Granite & marble
For landlords and businesses
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
How to look after the repair
To keep it looking its best:
- Oil wooden tops regularly
- Never put hot pans down directly
- Steer clear of strong cleaners
- Take care with heavy pans near edges
Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.
A chip on an edge can grow, and on laminate, water can get into the core. An early repair prevents it.
