Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Landlords, agents and businesses in St Erth
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
When a repair is not the answer
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Cracks right through stone that has moved
- Discolouration deep in quartz
- Laminate that has blown or swollen

Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Chopping boards prevent scratches
- Do not knock pans against the edge
- Wipe up spills quickly
- Keep joints and edges dry
Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, especially on laminate and wood.
Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, as water can get in and cause swelling.
Different materials, different repairs
Solid surface
Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so marks can often be sanded and refinished.
Quartz
Quartz is tough, though edges can chip. We fill chips with a tinted resin and polish them.
