Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Keep a trivet by the hob
- Re-oil timber worktops
- Don’t cut directly on the worktop
- Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.
Daily use can make burns and chips worse. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.

Advice
Repairing versus replacing in Silverburn
Stone and quartz tops are templated and cut to fit, so replacing one section is a big job. Repairing it is a few hours’ work. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

What we’re called out for in Silverburn
Around the sink, water gets into joints on laminate and wood, and that can make them swell.
People generally call us when they notice something like this:
- A dent from a dropped pan
- Damage from fitting or building work
- A heat mark or burn
- A chipped edge
Before you book anyone
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. 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.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
What we cannot put right
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
- A top that moves on its units
- Laminate swollen by water from underneath
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Laminate
- Granite & marble
- Solid wood
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Quartz
What your worktop is made of matters
Quartz
Quartz is crushed stone bound with resin. Edge chips are very common, and we fill and polish them to match the sheen.
Wood
Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, and burns and dents repaired.
