Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff:
- Do not knock pans against the edge
- Wipe up spills quickly
- Never put hot pans down directly
- Use a chopping board
Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.
A burn or chip can get worse with daily use. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.
Repairs by material
Quartz
Quartz is tough, though edges can chip. Chips are filled with tinted resin and polished to the worktop’s finish.
Granite and stone
Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.

- The size and number of damaged areas
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What kind of damage it is
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Where you are, by postcode
- Details of any past repairs
- Natural light rather than flash
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
Honest limits

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
