Questions from Troqueer
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Is a burnt worktop repairable?
Often, yes. We remove the damaged surface, fill it and recreate the pattern.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Can you match the pattern on my worktop?
Yes, the pattern is built up by hand so it blends in.
Can a quartz edge be fixed?
Yes, often. The repair is colour-matched and polished to the quartz’s finish.
What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
For landlords and businesses
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Should you replace it?
Stone and quartz have to be templated and cut, so replacing one section is a big job. A repair takes a few hours. Our worktop repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
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.

Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Watch the edges with heavy pans
- Keep joints and edges dry
- Use a chopping board
- Steer clear of strong cleaners
Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe spills right away, and keep wooden tops oiled.
Do not leave damage by the sink, as water can get in and cause swelling.
