What we do, step by step
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First we look at the damage and what the worktop is made of.

- A filler that suits the material goes in, and missing edges are rebuilt.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- Finally we seal or finish the area to match.
How to prepare
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Make sure the area is dry
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

How to care for the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Don’t cut directly on the worktop
- Watch the edges with heavy pans
- Always use a trivet for hot pans
- Don’t leave spills to soak in
Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe spills immediately, 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.
What your worktop is made of matters
Granite and stone
Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.
Solid surface
Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so marks can frequently be sanded and refinished.

West Pilton: your questions answered
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
