Repairs by material

Quartz
Quartz worktops are mostly stone set in resin. Edge chips are very common, and we fill and polish them to match the sheen.
About our worktop repair in Hensting
You do not need a new worktop because of one mark. The damage is filled and refinished to blend into the surface around it. Our technicians work on laminate, solid surface (such as Corian) and solid wood, and the jobs we see most are gouges in the surface and chips in quartz or granite.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

How to look after the repair
It’s all simple stuff:
- Dry around the sink and joints
- Keep a trivet by the hob
- Clean spills immediately
- Oil wooden tops regularly
Let the repair cure for the time we give you before putting anything heavy or hot on it. After that, trivets and chopping boards protect it best.
Daily use can make burns and chips worse particularly around the sink. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.
Should you replace it?
Even if you could get the same laminate, it may not match after years of light and use. We match the repair to your worktop as it is today. Our worktop repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Hensting. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Hensting questions
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Are there extra charges for Hensting?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
What do you need from me?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Can you match the pattern on my worktop?
Yes, the pattern is built up by hand so it blends in.
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
What happens on the day
You don’t need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. It typically takes a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
- We cut back any burnt or loose material.
- The area is filled and shaped.
- We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
- It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Let us know about parking or access

Advice
Honest limits
A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- Cracks right through stone that has moved
- A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
- Discolouration deep in quartz
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
Materials we repair

Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
How we price worktop repair
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Access to the area
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material and finish
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
How to get a fixed quote
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Natural light rather than flash
- A wider photo showing the whole worktop
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole worktop, we can price the job without visiting.
