Worktop repair in Star without replacing anything
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. Whether it’s gouges in the surface and snagging damage in a new kitchen, we can generally put it right, on laminate, quartz and solid surface (such as Corian) alike.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

Landlord and trade work in Star
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.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
How to care for the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Clean spills right away
- Dry around the sink and joints
- Take care with heavy pans near edges
- Chopping boards prevent scratches
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.
Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, because water gets in and swells the board.
What we are called out for in Star
Most chips are on edges and corners, frequently when something heavy catches the edge.
The things clients usually mention when they call include:
- Chips caused during installation
- A chipped quartz edge
- Burns from hot pans
- A damaged sink edge
Comparing quotes

- What prep work is covered
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
When we’d advise against a repair
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- Laminate swollen by water from underneath
- A top that moves on its units
- A cracked stone top that is unsupported
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
What we work on
- Granite & marble
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Laminate
- Quartz
- Solid wood
Different materials, different repairs
Quartz
Quartz is crushed stone bound with resin. Edge chips are very common, and we fill and polish them to match the sheen.
Solid surface
Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so marks can frequently be sanded and refinished.

FAQs for Star
Can you repair a chipped quartz worktop?

DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
