About our worktop repair in Hammer

A new worktop rarely matches the old one, particularly where several lengths join. A repair leaves the kitchen untouched. Our technicians work on granite & marble, quartz and laminate, and people most often call us about chips caused during installation and burns from hot pans.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Hammer: your questions answered

Which areas do you work in?

The entire UK, including all of Surrey. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Can I add another job to the visit?

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

Can you match the pattern on my worktop?

We match colour, flecks and veining by hand, for a repair that blends in.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

When we would advise against a repair

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • A cracked stone top that’s unsupported
  • Laminate that has blown or swollen
  • A top that moves on its units

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Different materials, different repairs

Solid surface

Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so scratches and burns can frequently be sanded out and refinished.

Laminate

Laminate is a printed surface bonded to a board. Damage is filled and the pattern painted in by hand.

What we are called out for in Hammer

Water around the sink can get into laminate and wood joints, which can cause swelling.

Contact us if you’ve noticed:

  • Gouges in the surface
  • Scorch marks from pans
  • Snagging damage in a new kitchen
  • Damage to a stone worktop

Before you book anyone

  • How to look after the finish
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • When it can be used again
  • How changes to the job are handled

10 questions to ask before booking

How it works

Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours. We leave the room clean.

  1. We assess the damage and the worktop material.
  2. Next we clean up and prepare the damaged area.
  3. We fill with a filler suited to the material and rebuild any missing edge.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The surface is sealed or finished to suit the worktop.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

For landlords and businesses

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Surrey and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

How we price worktop repair

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • The type of damage
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How much damage there is

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Quotes from your photos

Two or three clear photos are usually enough. Try to include:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • The material, if you know it
  • One picture of the whole worktop

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Aftercare tips

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Steer clear of strong cleaners
  • Never put hot pans down directly
  • Do not leave spills to soak in
  • Watch the edges with heavy pans

Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.

Daily use can make burns and chips worse particularly around the sink. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.

Can I fix it myself?

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.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
