About our worktop repair in Harden
You do not need a new worktop because of one mark. The damage is filled and refinished so it blends into the pattern. If you’re dealing with scratches and knife marks and a dent from a dropped pan, we can generally put it right.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back.

Harden questions
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.
Do you cover the entire of Kirklees?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Harden. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Can you match granite flecks?
We match colour, flecks and veining by hand, so the repair blends into the surface.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The size and number of damaged areas
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
Send photos for a quote
You can take the pictures on your phone. Just make sure we can see:
- A wider photo showing the whole worktop
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Details of any past repairs
- One sharp close-up of the damage
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire worktop, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Use a chopping board
- Always use a trivet for hot pans
- Keep joints and edges dry
- Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
Leave the repaired area free of hot or heavy items until it has cured. After that, trivets and chopping boards protect it best.
A burn or chip can get worse with daily use particularly around the sink. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Laminate
Laminate is a printed surface bonded to a board. Damage is filled and the pattern painted in by hand.
Wood
Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, and burns and dents repaired.

Why repair rather than replace?
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. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

What we are called out for in Harden
The worst damage often happens in a moment: 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.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- A chipped quartz edge
- Burns from hot pans
- Cuts and scratches in the surface
- Dents and gouges
What your quote should include
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Whether they match the colour on site
- If travel is included in the price
Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
