Worktop repair in Upper Hardres without replacing anything
Different worktops need different repairs: we fill and pattern laminate, fill and polish quartz and stone, and sand and refinish wood. The goal is always a repair that blends in. Whether it’s chips caused during installation and a heat mark or burn, we can help, on granite & marble, quartz and laminate alike.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

When we’d advise against a repair
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
- Cracks right through stone that has moved
- Laminate that has blown or swollen
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Quartz
- Laminate
- Granite & marble
- Solid wood
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
Different materials, different repairs
Wood
Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, with burns and dents put right.
Laminate
A laminate worktop is a thin decorative layer on a board. We fill damage and paint in the pattern by hand.

Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best:
- Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
- Chopping boards prevent scratches
- Re-oil timber worktops
- Wipe up spills quickly
Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe up spills promptly, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.
Daily use can make burns and chips worse particularly around the sink. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.

Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
