Quartz
Quartz is crushed stone bound with resin. Edge chips are very common, and we fill and polish them to match the sheen.
Solid surface
Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so scratches and burns can frequently be sanded out and refinished.
About our worktop repair in Great Horkesley
You do not need a new worktop because of one mark. The damage is filled and refinished to blend into the surface around it. Whether it’s damage around the sink cut-out and knife marks, we can help.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- The type of damage
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material and finish
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Getting a price from pictures
You can take the pictures on your phone. Ensure they show:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your CO6 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
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’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
What we can’t put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A cracked stone top that is unsupported
- Discolouration deep in quartz
- Failed support under the worktop
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
Materials we work on in Great Horkesley
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Solid wood
- Quartz
- Granite & marble
- Laminate
Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Wipe up spills quickly
- Never put hot pans down directly
- Do not knock pans against the edge
- Chopping boards prevent scratches
Let the repair cure for the time we give you before putting anything heavy or hot on it. After that, trivets and chopping boards are your best protection.
A burn or chip can get worse with daily use particularly around the sink. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.
Do you need worktop repair in Great Horkesley?

Great Horkesley questions
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can a scorch mark be fixed?
In most cases. Send us a photo and we’ll tell you.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
How much do I need to move?
Only the area we are working on. The rest is covered and protected.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
For landlords and businesses
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
