How we handle worktop repair in Hermitage
Burns from hot pans, chips on edges and scratches from knives are the most common worktop repairs. We repair them all in your kitchen. We’re often asked to fix cuts and scratches in the surface and damage around the sink cut-out, on granite & marble, solid surface (such as Corian) and quartz.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Hermitage and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Common problems we fix in Hermitage
Water around the sink can get into laminate and wood joints, which can cause swelling.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Scorch marks from pans
- Gouges in the surface
- Chips in quartz or granite
- Snagging damage in a new kitchen
Questions to ask before booking
- When it can be used again
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Who will actually do the work
- What prep work is covered
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Keep joints and edges dry
- Always use a trivet for hot pans
- Don’t knock pans against the edge
- Don’t cut directly on the worktop
Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.
Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, as water can get in and cause swelling.
When we would advise against a repair
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- Laminate that has blown or swollen
- A cracked stone top that is unsupported
- A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Materials we work on in Hermitage

Landlords, agents and businesses in Hermitage
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Why repair rather than replace?
Stone and quartz have to be templated and cut, so replacing a section takes time and money. Repairing it is a few hours’ work. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Why book with us
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- Work done at your home or business
- Honest advice, even when it means no job

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- The type of damage
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Access to the area
- What the surface is made of
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
Getting a price from pictures
You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A picture taken from further back
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Questions from Hermitage
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Do I need to empty the worktop?
Only around the repair. You can generally still use the rest of the kitchen.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Is a burnt worktop repairable?
Normally, yes. The burn is cut back, filled and patterned to match.
Can you match the pattern on my worktop?
Colour, flecks and veins are recreated by hand, for a repair that blends in.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Laminate is a printed surface bonded to a board. Damage is filled and the pattern painted in by hand.
Solid surface
Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so marks can often be sanded and refinished.
