Each type of worktop needs a different approach: we fill and pattern laminate, fill and polish quartz and stone, and sand and refinish wood. We always aim for a repair that blends in. We work on granite & marble, quartz and solid surface (such as Corian), and common reasons people get in touch are burns from hot pans and a chipped edge.

Repairs by material
Quartz
Quartz worktops are mostly stone set in resin. We fill and polish chipped edges.
Solid surface
Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so scratches and burns can often be sanded out and refinished.

When a repair isn’t the answer
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- A cracked stone top that’s unsupported
- Laminate swollen by water from underneath
- Failed support under the worktop
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Laminate
- Granite & marble
- Quartz
- Solid wood
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
How the visit works
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a few hours, depending on the damage. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to care for it.
- First we look at the damage and what the worktop is made of.
- The area is cleaned and the edges of the damage prepared.
- A filler that suits the material goes in, and missing edges are rebuilt.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- We seal or finish the surface to suit the worktop.
Before we arrive
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Make sure the area is dry

Your questions about worktop repair in Sandgate
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Can you match granite flecks?
Yes, the pattern is built up by hand so it blends in.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
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. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
How to care for the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Don’t cut directly on the worktop
- Keep joints and edges dry
- Clean spills immediately
- Watch the edges with heavy pans
Leave the repaired area free of hot or heavy items until it has cured. After that, trivets and chopping boards are your best protection.
Edge chips can get bigger, and water can reach the core of laminate. Repairing it early stops that.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Swollen or badly damaged laminate may need replacing. For chips, burns and scratches, a repair is the better value. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking.
