How to look after the repair
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Don’t leave spills to soak in
- Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
- Keep wood oiled
- Never put hot pans down directly
Leave the repaired area free of hot or heavy items until it has cured. After that, trivets and chopping boards are your best protection.
Edge chips can get bigger, and on laminate, water can get into the core. Repairing it early stops that.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Green Tye
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Hertfordshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.
How we price worktop repair
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- What kind of damage it is
- How many areas need work
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material and finish
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Send photos for a quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A picture taken from further back
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Quartz
Quartz is crushed stone bound with resin. Edge chips are very common, and we fill and polish them.
Wood
Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, with burns and dents put right.
Green Tye questions
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Do I need to empty the worktop?
Just clear the area around the damage. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Hertfordshire.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
The process
Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a few hours, depending on the damage from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First we look at the damage and what the worktop is made of.
- We clean the area and prepare the edges of the damage.
- A filler that suits the material goes in, and missing edges are rebuilt.
- The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
- We seal or finish the surface to suit the worktop.
Before we arrive
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Repairing versus replacing in Green Tye
A new worktop means taking out the damaged top, 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. Our worktop repair starts from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
