Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

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.

Worktop repair at your home in Hardley Street

Each type of worktop needs a different approach: we fill and pattern laminate, fill and polish quartz and stone, and sand and refinish wood. The goal is always a repair that blends in. If you are dealing with chips caused during installation and chips on edges and corners, we can help, on quartz, granite & marble and solid wood alike.

All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee.

Looking after it afterwards

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Do not knock pans against the edge
  • Chopping boards prevent scratches
  • Do not leave spills to soak in
  • Never put hot pans down directly

Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.

A burn or chip can get worse with daily use. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.

Different materials, different repairs

Quartz

Quartz worktops are mostly stone set in resin. We fill and polish chipped edges to match the sheen.

Granite and stone

Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.

Should you replace it?

Stone and quartz tops are templated and cut to fit, so replacing one section is a big job. A repair takes a few hours. Our worktop repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Hardley Street. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Hardley Street. The price reflects:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How hard the colour is to match

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

Getting a price from pictures

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Hardley Street: your questions answered

Do I need to empty the worktop?

Only the area we’re working on. The rest is covered and protected.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

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

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Is there a call-out fee?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
