Work for landlords and builders
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
For anyone letting property in or around Hillborough, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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 normally cheaper.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
When we’d advise against a repair
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- Laminate swollen by water from underneath
- A cracked stone top that’s unsupported
- A top that moves on its units
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we work on in Hillborough
- Solid wood
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Granite & marble

Should you replace it?
Replacing even one length of worktop means templating, cutting, fitting and often a new sink and hob connection. A repair takes a few hours and leaves everything in place. Our worktop repair starts from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

How we price worktop repair
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Access to the area
- The material
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Send photos for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- One picture of the whole worktop
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Something in shot to show the size
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
What we do, step by step
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a few hours, depending on the damage, including clearing up.

- We cut back any burnt or loose material.
- We fill and shape the damaged area.

How to look after the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Take care with heavy pans near edges
- Do not cut directly on the worktop
- Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
- Clean spills right away
Keep joints and the sink edge dry, especially on laminate and wood.
A burn or chip can get worse with daily use. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.
