Aftercare tips

To keep it looking its best:

  • Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
  • Use a chopping board
  • Oil wooden tops regularly
  • Wipe up spills quickly

Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.

Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, as water can get in and cause swelling.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a worktop means taking out the damaged top, templating and fitting a replacement and refitting the sink and hob, and matching the rest of the kitchen can be hard. Repairing the damage leaves the worktop in place. Our worktop repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good.

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Granite and stone

Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.

Quartz

Quartz worktops are mostly stone set in resin. We fill and polish chipped edges to match the sheen.

What a repair cannot fix

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • A cracked stone top that’s unsupported
  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
  • Water-swollen laminate

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

  • Solid surface (such as Corian)
  • Solid wood
  • Laminate
  • Quartz
  • Granite & marble

The process

We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes a few hours in most cases. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.

  1. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
  2. We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
  3. We fill it and level it with the worktop.
  4. The colour and pattern are built up by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed and polished to match.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Getting a price

Upload photos of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in The Platt, and we will reply with a fixed price.

10 questions to ask before you book

Can I fix it myself?

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
