Materials and what they mean for the repair
Solid surface
Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so scratches and burns can often be sanded out and refinished.
Granite and stone
Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.
Common problems we fix in Puckeridge
Most chips are on edges and corners, often when something heavy catches the edge.
Clients normally contact us about:
- Scorch marks from pans
- Damage to a stone worktop

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best:
- Do not leave spills to soak in
- Steer clear of strong cleaners
- Oil wooden tops regularly
- Watch the edges with heavy pans
Keep joints and the sink edge dry, especially on laminate and wood.
Edge chips can get bigger, and water can reach the core of laminate. Repairing it early stops that.

What else we do in Puckeridge
What happens on the day
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We assess the damage and the worktop material.
- Next we clean up and prepare the damaged area.
- A filler that suits the material goes in, and missing edges are rebuilt.
- The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
- The surface is sealed or finished to suit the worktop.
How to prepare
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Ensure the area is dry
Getting a price
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Quotes from your pictures
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A wider photo showing the whole worktop

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
