The process
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours, depending on the damage. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- The area around the damage is protected.
- The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
- It’s filled and levelled with the surface.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- The repair is sealed and polished to match.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Open a window if you can
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

FAQs for Fox Hollies
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can you repair a burn in a worktop?
Usually, yes. We remove the damaged surface, fill it and recreate the pattern.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
How do I get a price for worktop repair in Fox Hollies?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your B27 postcode.
Different materials, different repairs
Solid surface
Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so marks can frequently be sanded and refinished.
Quartz
Quartz worktops are mostly stone set in resin. Edge chips are very common, and we fill and polish them to match the sheen.
How we price worktop repair
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Doing more than one item at once
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
How to get a fixed price
You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Details of any past repairs
- The material, if you know it
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your B27 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

What else we do in Fox Hollies
Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Oil wooden tops regularly
- Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
- Wipe up spills quickly
- Keep joints and edges dry
Let the repair cure for the time we give you before putting anything heavy or hot on it. After that, trivets and chopping boards protect it best.
Do not leave damage by the sink, because water gets in and swells the board.

Why repair rather than replace?
A new worktop means removing the old one, templating and fitting a replacement and refitting the sink and hob, and it may not match the rest of the kitchen. Repairing the damage leaves the worktop in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
