DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

Different materials, different repairs
Quartz
Quartz is hard, but its edges are brittle. We fill chips with a tinted resin and polish them to the worktop’s finish.
Wood
Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, and burns and dents repaired.
When we would advise against a repair
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Laminate that has blown or swollen
- Failed support under the worktop
- Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple:
- Always use a trivet for hot pans
- Wipe up spills quickly
- Take care with heavy pans near edges
- Use a chopping board
Let the repair cure for the time we give you before putting anything heavy or hot on it. After that, trivets and chopping boards are your best protection.
Edge chips can get bigger, and water can reach the core of laminate. An early repair prevents it.
