Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep wood oiled
- Clean spills straight away
- Take care with heavy pans near edges
- Do not let water sit on joints
Leave the repaired area free of hot or heavy items until it has cured. After that, trivets and chopping boards protect it best.
Daily use can make burns and chips worse particularly around the sink. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.
FAQs for Rockcliffe
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Can you repair a chipped quartz worktop?
Yes, often. We match the colour and polish the repair.
Do I need to empty the worktop?
Just clear the area around the damage. The rest is covered and protected.
What happens after I send pictures?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Will the repair match a patterned worktop?
Yes. We recreate the pattern by hand.
DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.
What happens on the day
When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job typically takes a few hours, depending on the damage. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We start by checking the damage and the worktop material.
- We clean the area and prepare the edges of the damage.
- We fill with a filler suited to the material and rebuild any missing edge.
- The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
- We seal or finish the surface to suit the worktop.
Before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

For landlords and businesses
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Repairs by material
Laminate
Laminate is a printed surface over a board. Chips and burns are filled and the pattern recreated by hand.
Solid surface
Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so marks can frequently be sanded and refinished.
