What happens on the day
On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job normally takes a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- The area around the damage is protected.
- We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
- We fill it and level it with the worktop.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- We seal and polish it to the right sheen.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Keep a parking space free if you can
Getting a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Advice
Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Keep a trivet by the hob
- Don’t leave spills to soak in
- Take care with heavy pans near edges
- Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.
A chip on an edge can grow, and on laminate, water can get into the core. Repairing it early stops that.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
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 will not last.
When we would advise against a repair
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Cracks right through stone that has moved
- Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
- Water-swollen laminate
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Why repair rather than replace?

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
