Related advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

A repair leaves the worktop in place. Our worktop repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Apsley End. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Common questions in Apsley End
Can you match the pattern on my worktop?
Yes. We recreate the pattern by hand so it blends in.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Do you cover the whole of Hertfordshire?
We cover the entire UK, including Apsley End and the rest of Hertfordshire. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
What happens after I send pictures?

How to look after the repair
It’s all simple stuff:
- Watch the edges with heavy pans
- Re-oil timber worktops
- Don’t let water sit on joints
- Steer clear of strong cleaners
Leave the repaired area free of hot or heavy items until it has cured. After that, trivets and chopping boards are your best protection.
Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, as water can get in and cause swelling.
What a repair cannot fix
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Failed support under the worktop
- Severe heat marks in quartz
- Through cracks in stone that is moving
