We’re often asked to fix damage to a stone worktop and scorch marks from pans, in quartz, solid surface (such as Corian) and laminate.

Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Steer clear of strong cleaners
- Never put hot pans down directly
- Re-oil timber worktops
- Do not let water sit on joints
Keep joints and the sink edge dry, particularly with laminate and timber.
A chip on an edge can grow, and on laminate, water can get into the core. An early repair prevents it.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
What a repair can’t fix
We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Laminate swollen by water from underneath
- Failed support under the worktop
- Through cracks in stone that is moving
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Repairs by material
Laminate
Laminate worktops have a printed decorative layer over a board core. We fill the damage and recreate the pattern.
Wood
Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, and burns and dents repaired.
Why repair rather than replace?
Swollen or badly damaged laminate may need replacing. For chips, burns and scratches, a repair is the better value. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
