FAQs for Hanchurch

Do you hold any accreditations?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

Do you repair quartz?

Yes. Chips on edges and around the sink are very common repairs, filled and polished to match.

How much do I need to move?

Just clear the area around the damage. We protect the rest of the kitchen.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

How quickly can you book me in?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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.

Work for landlords and builders

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Repairing versus replacing in Hanchurch

Even if you could get the same laminate, it may not match after years of light and use. A repair is matched to what you have now. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Why Hanchurch customers choose us

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

Signs you need worktop repair in Hanchurch

Most worktop damage takes a second: a hot pan put down without a trivet, or a heavy pan knocked against the edge. Scratches build up more slowly, from knives and grit.

Clients generally contact us about:

  • A chipped quartz edge
  • Cuts and scratches in the surface
  • Gouges in the surface
  • Chips on edges and corners

Before booking anyone

  • How long it needs to cure
  • If travel is included in the price
  • Aftercare advice
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

How to compare quotes

What worktop repair costs

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

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Access to the area
  • What the surface is made of

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Quotes from your photos

Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. It helps if you send:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • One picture of the entire worktop
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the worktop, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Solid surface

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

Laminate

Laminate is a printed surface over a board. We fill the damage and recreate the pattern.

Honest limits

We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
  • Cracks right through stone that has moved

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Materials we repair

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

How the visit works

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
  2. Burnt or loose material is cut back.
  3. The area is filled and shaped.
  4. We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
  5. We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
