Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Should you replace it?

If the worktop is swollen by water or badly damaged along its length, replacement may be the answer. For chips, burns and scratches, repair is normally far better value. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Honest limits

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Cracks right through stone that has moved
  • Severe heat marks in quartz
  • Failed support under the worktop

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

How to care for the repair

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
  • Keep joints and edges dry
  • Clean spills right away
  • Take care with heavy pans near edges

Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe spills right away, and keep wooden tops oiled.

A chip on an edge can grow, and water can reach the core of laminate. An early repair prevents it.

How it works

Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage for most jobs. We leave the room clean.

  1. We assess the damage and the worktop material.
  2. We clean the area and prepare the edges of the damage.
  3. A filler that suits the material goes in, and missing edges are rebuilt.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The surface is sealed or finished to suit the worktop.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
