How we handle worktop repair in Tillington
You do not need a new worktop because of one mark. The damage is filled and refinished so it blends into the pattern. Our technicians work on granite & marble, laminate and solid surface (such as Corian), and the jobs we see most are damage to a stone worktop and a dent from a dropped pan.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Tillington and across West Sussex.

The process
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to care for it.
- We start by checking the damage and the worktop material.
- The area is cleaned and the edges of the damage prepared.
- A filler that suits the material goes in, and missing edges are rebuilt.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- Finally we seal or finish the area to match.
How to prepare
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Point us to the nearest place to park
Getting a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Your questions about worktop repair in Tillington
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can tenants book a repair?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Is a burnt worktop repairable?
Frequently, yes. We remove the damaged surface, fill it and recreate the pattern.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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, a professional repair is worth it.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
What your worktop is made of matters
Solid surface
Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so scratches and burns can frequently be sanded out and refinished.
Quartz
Quartz worktops are mostly stone set in resin. Edge chips are very common, and we fill and polish them to match the sheen.
Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep joints and edges dry
- Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
- Do not leave spills to soak in
- 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.
A burn or chip can get worse with daily use. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.
