What your worktop is made of matters

Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.
Laminate
Laminate is a printed surface bonded to a board. Damage is filled and the pattern painted in by hand.
How we handle worktop repair in St Margaret South Elmham
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, solid surface (such as Corian) and laminate, and people most frequently call us about a dent from a dropped pan and chips near the sink.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it.

The worst damage often happens in a moment: a hot pan put down without a trivet, or a heavy pan knocked against the edge. Scratches build up gradually from knives and grit.
The things clients typically mention when they call are:
- Dents and gouges
- A chipped edge
- Damage from fitting or building work
- Chips in quartz or granite

For landlords and businesses
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Rental properties take more wear, 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.
Common questions in St Margaret South Elmham
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
What happens after I send pictures?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Do I need to clear the kitchen?
Only around the repair. The rest of the kitchen stays usable.
What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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.

Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Watch the edges with heavy pans
- Never put hot pans down directly
- Oil wooden tops regularly
- Do not cut directly on the worktop
Let the repair cure for the time we give you before putting anything heavy or hot on it. After that, trivets and chopping boards protect it best.
A burn or chip can get worse with daily use. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.
