Solid surface
Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so marks can frequently be sanded and refinished.
Quartz
Quartz is hard, but its edges are brittle. Chips are filled with tinted resin and polished.
How we handle worktop repair in Preston
Burns from hot pans, chips on edges and scratches from knives are the most common worktop repairs. We repair them all in your kitchen. Typical jobs include dents and gouges and chips caused during installation, in solid wood, quartz and granite & marble.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Use a chopping board
- Do not leave spills to soak in
- Re-oil timber worktops
- Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.
Do not leave damage by the sink, because water gets in and swells the board.
What happens on the day
Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a few hours, depending on the damage. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to look after it.
- We protect the rest of the kitchen.
- The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
- It’s filled and levelled with the surface.
- The colour and pattern are built up by hand.
- We seal and polish it to the right sheen.
Preparing for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

What we are called out for in Preston
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.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Knife marks
- Damage from fitting or building work
- A chipped quartz edge
- Scorch marks from pans
What your quote should include
- Whether they match the colour on site
- If travel is included in the price
- Who turns up on the day
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
What we can’t put right
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Laminate that has blown or swollen
- A cracked stone top that’s unsupported
- Severe heat marks in quartz
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Solid wood
- Granite & marble
- Quartz
- Laminate
- Solid surface (such as Corian)

Why repair rather than replace?
If the worktop is swollen by water or badly damaged along its length, replacement may be the answer. For chips, burns and scratches, repair is generally far better value. Our worktop repair starts from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
