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, and the work is guaranteed.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

Worktop repair in Hathern, done in place

A new worktop rarely matches the old one, particularly where several lengths join. Repairing the damage keeps your kitchen as it is. We’re often asked to fix cuts and scratches in the surface and chipped corners, across solid wood, granite & marble and quartz.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

What worktop repair costs

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

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The colour and finish to match

Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Send pictures for a quote

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Where you are, by postcode

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire worktop, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Hathern questions

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Leicestershire.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.

Will the repair match a patterned worktop?

We match colour, flecks and veining by hand, for a repair that blends in.

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Do you charge for travel?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

How to look after the repair

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Don’t knock pans against the edge
  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
  • Clean spills right away
  • Re-oil timber worktops

Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe up spills promptly, and keep wooden tops oiled.

Daily use can make burns and chips worse. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.

Different materials, different repairs

Granite and stone

Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.

Solid surface

Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so scratches and burns can frequently be sanded out and refinished.

When a repair isn’t the answer

A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:

  • Laminate that has blown or swollen
  • Failed support under the worktop
  • Severe heat marks in quartz

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

For landlords and businesses

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Leicestershire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Do you need worktop repair in Hathern?

Worktops take more punishment than anything else in the kitchen. Hot pans leave burns, knives leave scratches, and heavy pans chip the edges.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Scorch marks from pans
  • Scratches and knife marks
  • A chipped quartz edge
  • Dents and gouges

Before booking anyone

  • How long it needs to cure
  • If travel is included in the price
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

Our hiring checklist

How the visit works

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job typically takes a few hours. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. First we look at the damage and what the worktop is made of.
  2. The area is cleaned and the edges of the damage prepared.
  3. A filler that suits the material goes in, and missing edges are rebuilt.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal or finish the area to match.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Open a window if you can
