Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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.

Advice
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Quartz
Quartz is tough, though edges can chip. We fill chips with a tinted resin and polish them.
Wood
Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, with burns and dents put right.
How to care for the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Clean spills straight away
- Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
- Watch the edges with heavy pans
- Don’t cut directly on the worktop
Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe up spills promptly, and keep wooden tops oiled.
A chip on an edge can grow, and water can reach the core of laminate. An early repair prevents it.
