What we do, step by step

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. It normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. First we look at the damage and what the worktop is made of.
  2. We clean the area and prepare the edges of the damage.
  3. We fill with a filler suited to the material and rebuild any missing edge.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The surface is sealed or finished to suit the worktop.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Make sure the area is dry

Ask for a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

What affects the price in Hemley

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • The material and finish
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What kind of damage it is

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

How to get a fixed quote

Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. Try to include:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Our hiring checklist

When a repair is not the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Cracks right through stone that has moved
  • Laminate that has blown or swollen
  • Discolouration deep in quartz

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we work on in Hemley

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

Looking after it afterwards

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Keep joints and edges dry
  • Do not leave spills to soak in
  • Re-oil timber worktops
  • Never put hot pans down directly

Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe spills immediately, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.

Edge chips can get bigger, and water can reach the core of laminate. Repairing it early stops that.

Common questions in Hemley

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole worktop and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

Can you match granite flecks?

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

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

How much does worktop repair cost in Hemley?

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your IP12 postcode.

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

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, it’s worth having it done properly.

What your worktop is made of matters

Solid surface

Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so marks can often be sanded and refinished.

Wood

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