What we’re called out for in Hales Place
Kitchen worktops have a hard life. Hot pans leave burns, knives cut, and edges chip when heavy pans or tins hit them.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- A damaged sink edge
- A dent from a dropped pan
- Cuts and scratches in the surface
- A heat mark or burn
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How soon you can use it again
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How your room will be protected
For landlords and businesses
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.
For anyone letting property in or around Hales Place, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
When we would advise against a repair
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- A top that moves on its units
- Laminate that has blown or swollen
- A cracked stone top that’s unsupported
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on
- Quartz
- Granite & marble
- Solid wood
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Laminate
Repair or replace: which is better?
Even if you could get the same laminate, it may not match after years of light and use. We match the repair to your worktop as it is today. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Why us?
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- Most jobs done in one visit
- Rooms protected and left tidy

DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Repairs by material
Granite and stone
Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.
Quartz
Quartz is crushed stone bound with resin. We fill and polish chipped edges.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- The type of damage
- Access to the area
- Doing more than one item at once
- Unusual colours or finishes
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Getting a price from pictures
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A picture taken from further back
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Upload pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Hales Place, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
