Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Doing more than one item at once
- What kind of damage it is
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Send photos for a quote
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- One picture of the entire worktop
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- What it’s made of, if you know
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Common questions in Hatfield Hyde
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can you repair a burn in a worktop?
Frequently, yes. The burn is cut back, filled and patterned to match.
Do I need to empty the worktop?
Only the area we’re working on. The rest is covered and protected.
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Other services in Hatfield Hyde
Landlord and trade work in Hatfield Hyde
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Hertfordshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
How it works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on the damage, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We assess the damage and the worktop material.
- The area is cleaned and the edges of the damage prepared.
- A filler that suits the material goes in, and missing edges are rebuilt.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- Finally we seal or finish the area to match.
Before we arrive
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Getting a price
Most clients in Hatfield Hyde get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Advice
When a repair isn’t the answer
We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Failed support under the worktop
- A cracked stone top that is unsupported
- Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Materials we work on in Hatfield Hyde
- Laminate
- Solid wood
- Granite & marble
- Quartz
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Oil wooden tops regularly
- Never put hot pans down directly
- Use a chopping board
- Watch the edges with heavy pans
Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.
A chip on an edge can grow, and water can reach the core of laminate. Repairing it early stops that.
Should you replace it?
An identical replacement may look different next to aged worktops. We match the repair to your worktop as it is today. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. 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 make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
