The process
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a few hours. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We assess the damage and the worktop material.
- Next we clean up and prepare the damaged area.
- We fill with a filler suited to the material and rebuild any missing edge.
- The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
- Finally we seal or finish the area to match.
How to prepare
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

How to care for the repair
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Keep wood oiled
- Dry around the sink and joints
- Do not leave spills to soak in
- Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
Let the repair cure for the time we give you before putting anything heavy or hot on it. After that, trivets and chopping boards are your best protection.
Do not leave damage by the sink, as water can get in and cause swelling.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Wood
Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, and burns and dents repaired.
Granite and stone
Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.
Why repair rather than replace?
Stone and quartz tops are templated and cut to fit, so replacing a section takes time and money. A repair takes a few hours. Our worktop repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
