Hell Corner questions

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Can you repair a chipped quartz worktop?

Yes. Chips on edges and around the sink are very common repairs, matched and polished.

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

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

Worktop repair in Hell Corner without replacing anything

The hard part of a worktop repair is matching the pattern. Colour, flecks and veining are recreated by hand so the repair blends in. Whether it’s burns from hot pans and dents and gouges, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Wood

Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, and burns and dents repaired.

Solid surface

Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so scratches and burns can frequently be sanded out and refinished.

Looking after it afterwards

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Wipe up spills quickly
  • Watch the edges with heavy pans
  • Keep a trivet by the hob
  • Oil wooden tops regularly

Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, particularly with laminate and timber.

A chip on an edge can grow, and water can reach the core of laminate. An early repair prevents it.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Hell Corner

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

How the visit works

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We start by checking the damage and the worktop material.
  2. The area is cleaned and the edges of the damage prepared.
  3. We fill the damage with a suitable filler and build up any lost edge.
  4. The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
  5. Finally we seal or finish the area to match.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Repair or replace in Hell Corner?

Replacing a worktop means removing the old one, cutting and fitting a new one and reconnecting the sink and hob, and it may not match the rest of the kitchen. A repair leaves the worktop in place. Our worktop repair starts from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of 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.

Why Hell Corner clients choose us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • No extra charge for your area

Take a look at our full price list.

What a repair can’t fix

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

  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath
  • Cracks right through stone that has moved
  • Severe heat marks in quartz

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

What we are called out for in Hell Corner

Cut-outs for the sink and hob are the weakest parts, and that is where cracks frequently begin.

Customers generally contact us about:

  • Chips caused during installation
  • Chipped corners
  • A dent from a dropped pan
  • Chips near the sink

Before you book anyone

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Who turns up on the day
  • How to care for the finish
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
