DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Repairs by material

Quartz

Quartz is hard, but its edges are brittle. We fill chips with a tinted resin and polish them to the worktop’s finish.

Solid surface

Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so scratches and burns can frequently be sanded out and refinished.

What we cannot put right

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

  • Laminate that has blown or swollen
  • A top that moves on its units
  • A cracked stone top that is unsupported

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on

  • Solid surface (such as Corian)
  • Laminate
  • Quartz
  • Granite & marble
  • Solid wood

How to care for the repair

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
  • Do not cut directly on the worktop
  • Take care with heavy pans near edges
  • Don’t leave spills to soak in

Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe up spills promptly, and keep wooden tops oiled.

A burn or chip can get worse with daily use. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.

How it works

You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. It normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
  2. We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
  3. It’s filled and levelled with the surface.
  4. The colour and pattern are built up by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed and polished to match.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let us know about parking or access
