Worktop repair in Quethiock without replacing anything
Different worktops need different repairs: laminate is filled and patterned, quartz and stone are filled and polished, and wood is sanded and refinished. The goal is always a repair that blends in. Our repair technicians work on laminate, quartz and solid wood, and the jobs we see most are burns from hot pans and knife marks.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back.

What we’re called out for in Quethiock
The worst damage often happens in a moment: a hot pan set straight down, or a heavy pan catching the edge. Scratches build up more slowly, from knives and grit.

- A heat mark or burn
- Chips near the sink
What your quote should include

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Granite and stone
Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.
Wood
Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, and burns and dents repaired.
When a repair is not the answer
A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- Laminate swollen by water from underneath
- Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
- Cracks right through stone that has moved
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Granite & marble
- Quartz
- Solid wood
- Laminate

What else we do in Quethiock
DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

If you manage property in Quethiock, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Oil wooden tops regularly
- Clean spills straight away
- Never put hot pans down directly
- Chopping boards prevent scratches
Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.
Do not leave damage by the sink, because water gets in and swells the board.
