Wood
Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, with burns and dents put right.
Quartz
Quartz is tough, though edges can chip. We fill chips with a tinted resin and polish them to the worktop’s finish.

Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Do not knock pans against the edge
- Keep wood oiled
- Dry around the sink and joints
- Steer clear of strong cleaners
Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe spills straight away, and keep wooden tops oiled.
Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, as water can get in and cause swelling.
How the visit works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. Allow a few hours, depending on the damage.
- We start by checking the damage and the worktop material.
- We clean the area and prepare the edges of the damage.
- We fill with a filler suited to the material and rebuild any missing edge.
- We match the colour and pattern by hand.
- We seal or finish the surface to suit the worktop.
How to prepare
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let us know about parking or access
- Ensure the room can be ventilated

Related advice
Honest limits
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Laminate that has blown or swollen
- Through cracks in stone that is moving
- Discolouration deep in quartz
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Quartz
- Laminate
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Granite & marble
- Solid wood
Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
