How the visit works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. It normally takes a few hours, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. We assess the damage and the worktop material.
  2. The area is cleaned and the edges of the damage prepared.
  3. We fill the damage with a suitable filler and build up any lost edge.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal or finish the area to match.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let us know about parking or access

Honest limits

We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Cracks right through stone that has moved
  • Discolouration deep in quartz
  • Water-swollen laminate

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we work on in Foxhole

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

Keeping it looking good

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
  • Keep a trivet by the hob
  • Don’t cut directly on the worktop
  • Keep wood oiled

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.

A burn or chip can get worse with daily use. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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 typically cheaper.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Choosing a repair company

Your questions about worktop repair in Foxhole

What happens next?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote.

Can you price it without visiting?

Generally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Can a quartz edge be fixed?

Yes. We repair quartz chips regularly, filled and polished to match.

Do you come to Foxhole?

We do. We send a technician to Foxhole for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Repairs by material

Wood

Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, and burns and dents repaired.

Laminate

Laminate worktops have a printed decorative layer over a board core. Chips and burns are filled and the pattern recreated by hand.

Work for landlords and builders

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
