DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Worktop repair in Ruckinge, done in place
Laminate, quartz, granite, solid surface and wooden worktops can all be repaired, matching the colour and pattern by hand. Nothing is taken out. Common call-outs are for cuts and scratches in the surface and scorch marks from pans, across solid surface (such as Corian), granite & marble and solid wood.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Different materials, different repairs
Solid surface
Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so scratches and burns can frequently be sanded out and refinished.
Quartz
Quartz is crushed stone bound with resin. Edge chips are very common, and we fill and polish them to match the sheen.
Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Do not let water sit on joints
- Always use a trivet for hot pans
- Wipe up spills quickly
- Take care with heavy pans near edges
Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.
A burn or chip can get worse with daily use. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.
Honest limits
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- A cracked stone top that’s unsupported
- A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
- Severe heat marks in quartz
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details.
Should you replace it?
Even a single new length of worktop means templating, cutting and refitting the sink and hob. A repair takes a few hours and leaves everything in place. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Why us?
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
- One visit for most repairs
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
