How the visit works
We begin by going over the job with you. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
- We cut back any burnt or loose material.
- We fill and shape the damaged area.
- The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
- It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can

How to care for the repair
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep joints and edges dry
- Take care with heavy pans near edges
- Use a chopping board
- Wipe up spills quickly
Keep joints and the sink edge dry, especially on laminate and wood.
A burn or chip can get worse with daily use. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.
What else we do in Hathershaw
Different materials, different repairs
Laminate
A laminate worktop is a thin decorative layer on a board. Damage is filled and the pattern painted in by hand.
Quartz
Quartz worktops are mostly stone set in resin. We fill and polish chipped edges.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- The colour and finish to match
- The type of damage
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
How to get a fixed quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- A picture taken from further back
- Where you are, by postcode
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Hathershaw
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will handle the rest.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Hathershaw questions
Do you cover Hathershaw?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Hathershaw from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
What happens after I send pictures?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
