DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Pan burns, chipped edges and knife scratches make up most of our worktop work. All are repaired in place. Common call-outs are for snagging damage in a new kitchen and a chipped edge, across solid wood, solid surface (such as Corian) and granite & marble.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Stonehouse and across Cornwall.

- Unusual colours or finishes
- What the surface is made of
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

What your worktop is made of matters
Wood
Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, with burns and dents put right.
Quartz
Quartz is crushed stone bound with resin. We fill and polish chipped edges.
Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Oil wooden tops regularly
- Do not knock pans against the edge
- Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
- Never put hot pans down directly
Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.
Edge chips can get bigger, and water can reach the core of laminate. An early repair prevents it.
