Worktop repair in Sandford, done in place
You do not need a new worktop because of one mark. The damage is filled and refinished so it blends into the pattern. We work on laminate, granite & marble and solid wood, and people most frequently call us about chips in quartz or granite and gouges in the surface.
Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Oil wooden tops regularly
- Keep a trivet by the hob
- Dry around the sink and joints
- Use a chopping board
Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe up spills promptly, and keep wooden tops oiled.
Daily use can make burns and chips worse. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.
What we’re called out for in Sandford
Water around the sink can get into laminate and wood joints, and that can make them swell.
