About our worktop repair in Hickling
Matching a pattern is the skilled part of a worktop repair. Colour, flecks and veining are recreated by hand. We work on granite & marble, laminate and quartz, and common reasons people get in touch are scratches and knife marks and chips caused during installation.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it.

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Do not cut directly on the worktop
- Keep a trivet by the hob
- Watch the edges with heavy pans
- Dry around the sink and joints
Keep joints and the sink edge dry, especially on laminate and wood.
Edge chips can get bigger, and on laminate, water can get into the core. An early repair prevents it.
What worktop repair costs
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- How many areas need work
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material and finish
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Quotes from your pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A picture taken from further back
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- What it’s made of, if you know
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Repair or replace: which is better?
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. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Different materials, different repairs
Solid surface
Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so scratches and burns can frequently be sanded out and refinished.
Granite and stone
Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.
Landlord and trade work in Hickling
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
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.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
