Worktop repair in Unthank, done in place
A new worktop rarely matches the old one, especially in an L-shaped or long kitchen. Repairing the damage keeps your kitchen as it is. If you’re dealing with scratches and knife marks and gouges in the surface, we can help, on granite & marble, solid wood and laminate alike.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Watch the edges with heavy pans
- Never put hot pans down directly
- Do not leave spills to soak in
- Steer clear of strong cleaners
Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe up spills promptly, and keep wooden tops oiled.
A burn or chip can get worse with daily use particularly around the sink. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.

Advice
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Wood
Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, and burns and dents repaired.
Solid surface
Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so scratches and burns can frequently be sanded out and refinished.
