Repairing versus replacing in Hick's Mill
Replacing a worktop means taking out the damaged top, cutting and fitting a new one and refitting the sink and hob, and it may not match the rest of the kitchen. A repair keeps your existing worktop. Our worktop repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.

FAQs for Hick's Mill
Is a burnt worktop repairable?
In most cases. A picture lets us check.
Can you match granite flecks?
Yes, the pattern is built up by hand.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
Can a quartz edge be fixed?
Yes. We repair quartz chips regularly, matched and polished.

When a repair is not the answer
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

- Discolouration deep in quartz
- Laminate that has blown or swollen

- Solid wood
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
What we do, step by step
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
- Burnt or loose material is cut back.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
How to get a price
Upload pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your TR4 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple:
- Use a chopping board
- Keep a trivet by the hob
- Re-oil timber worktops
- Wipe up spills quickly
Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.
Do not leave damage by the sink, as water can get in and cause swelling.
Landlord and trade work in Hick's Mill
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
