- Laminate that has blown or swollen
- Cracks right through stone that has moved
- Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear

Materials we repair
- Granite & marble
- Laminate
- Quartz
- Solid surface (such as Corian)

Repair or replace: which is better?
Stone and quartz have to be templated and cut, so replacing one section is a big job. A repair takes a few hours. Our worktop repair starts from £95. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Different materials, different repairs
Granite and stone
Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.
Wood
Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, and burns and dents repaired.
Work for landlords and builders
If you manage property in Polsloe, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, 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.

Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Keep joints and edges dry
- Use a chopping board
- Watch the edges with heavy pans

Leave the repaired area free of hot or heavy items until it has cured. After that, trivets and chopping boards are your best protection.
Don’t leave damage by the sink, as water can get in and cause swelling.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
