The process
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. It normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- We start by checking the damage and the worktop material.
- Next we clean up and prepare the damaged area.
- A filler that suits the material goes in, and missing edges are rebuilt.
- We match the colour and pattern by hand.
- The surface is sealed or finished to suit the worktop.
How to prepare
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Ask for a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
Advice
Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Blackhill use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
Blackhill: your questions answered
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Can you match granite flecks?
Colour, flecks and veins are recreated by hand, for a repair that blends in.
How do I get a price for worktop repair in Blackhill?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Are you accredited?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK, so Blackhill is covered. Prices do not change with location.
Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair
- Quartz
- Solid wood
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Laminate

Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff:
- Keep joints and edges dry
- Oil wooden tops regularly
- Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
- Don’t cut directly on the worktop
Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe spills straight away, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.
Don’t leave damage by the sink, as water can get in and cause swelling.
Repairs by material
Wood
Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, and burns and dents repaired.
Quartz
Quartz is tough, though edges can chip. We fill chips with a tinted resin and polish them.
Repair or replace in Blackhill?
Stone and quartz tops are templated and cut to fit, so replacing one section is a big job. Repairing it is a few hours’ work. Prices start from £95. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
