About our worktop repair in Skippers Hill
Worktops are expensive to replace and hard to match, particularly where several lengths join. A repair leaves the kitchen untouched. Whether it’s chipped corners and chips in quartz or granite, we can help, whatever the material.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Laminate
A laminate worktop is a thin decorative layer on a board. We fill damage and paint in the pattern by hand.
Solid surface
Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so scratches and burns can often be sanded out and refinished.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple:
- Take care with heavy pans near edges
- Keep a trivet by the hob
- Do not let water sit on joints
- Oil wooden tops regularly
Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe up spills promptly, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.
A burn or chip can get worse with daily use. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.
When a repair is not the answer
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
- A cracked stone top that is unsupported
- Laminate swollen by water from underneath

Questions from Skippers Hill
Can a scorch mark be fixed?
Typically. Send us a photo and we will tell you.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Do I need to empty the worktop?
Only around the repair. You can usually still use the rest of the kitchen.
Can you repair a chipped quartz worktop?
Yes. Chips on edges and around the sink are very common repairs, filled and polished to match.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
