DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
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 normally cheaper.
Your questions about worktop repair in Hales
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
What areas do you cover?
All of Norfolk, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
What happens after I send pictures?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
Do I need to empty the worktop?
Only the area we are working on. The rest is covered and protected.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole worktop and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
What happens on the day
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which generally takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- We start by checking the damage and the worktop material.
- The area is cleaned and the edges of the damage prepared.
- We fill the damage with a suitable filler and build up any lost edge.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- Finally we seal or finish the area to match.
Preparing for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Point us to the nearest place to park
Getting a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Clean spills immediately
- Don’t knock pans against the edge
- Don’t let water sit on joints
- Do not cut directly on the worktop
Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.
Edge chips can get bigger, and water can reach the core of laminate. An early repair prevents it.
What worktop repair costs
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- The material and finish
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Access to the area
A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Send pictures for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- One picture of the whole worktop
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

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