Questions from Hastoe
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
What happens after I send pictures?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Do you cover Hastoe?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Hastoe from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
What does worktop repair cost?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Can you repair a chipped quartz worktop?
Yes. We repair quartz chips regularly, filled and polished to match.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Should you replace it?
A new worktop means taking out the damaged top, templating and fitting a replacement and reconnecting the sink and hob, and matching the rest of the kitchen can be hard. A repair leaves the worktop in place. Our worktop repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What a repair can’t fix
Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:
- Laminate swollen by water from underneath
- Cracks right through stone that has moved
- Severe heat marks in quartz
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Quartz
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Laminate
- Solid wood
- Granite & marble
How to care for the repair
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Re-oil timber worktops
- Watch the edges with heavy pans
- Always use a trivet for hot pans
- Use a chopping board
Keep joints and the sink edge dry, particularly with laminate and timber.
Don’t leave damage by the sink, as water can get in and cause swelling.

What worktop repair costs
Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Hastoe. The price comes down to:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Doing more than one item at once
- What the surface is made of
- Unusual colours or finishes
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Hastoe. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire worktop, we can price the job.
Landlord and trade work in Hastoe
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hastoe use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
DIY kit or professional repair?
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, and the work is guaranteed.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
Do you need worktop repair in Hastoe?
Kitchen worktops have a hard life. Hot pans scorch, knives cut, and edges chip when heavy pans or tins hit them.
Contact us if you’ve noticed:
- A chipped quartz edge
- Damage around the sink cut-out
- Dents and gouges
- Burns from hot pans
What to look for in a quote
- When it can be used again
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Who will actually do the work
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
What we do, step by step
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours.
- The area around the damage is protected.
- We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
- We fill it and level it with the worktop.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- We seal and polish it to the right sheen.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
How to get a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
