How the visit works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. You can expect it to take a morning or an afternoon, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- We start by checking the damage and the worktop material.
- Next we clean up and prepare the damaged area.
- A filler that suits the material goes in, and missing edges are rebuilt.
- The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
- Finally we seal or finish the area to match.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let us know about parking or access
- Open a window if you can

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Laminate
A laminate worktop is a thin decorative layer on a board. Damage is filled and the pattern painted in by hand.
Solid surface
Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so scratches and burns can frequently be sanded out and refinished.
For landlords and businesses
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hillbutts as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
Hillbutts questions
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Are there extra charges for Hillbutts?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Will the repair match a patterned worktop?
Yes. We recreate the pattern by hand.
Can a scorch mark be fixed?
Often, yes. We remove the damaged surface, fill it and recreate the pattern.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
How much does worktop repair cost in Hillbutts?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
What information do you need?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Hillbutts.
Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Keep a trivet by the hob
- Keep joints and edges dry
- Do not cut directly on the worktop
- Wipe up spills quickly
Let the repair cure for the time we give you before putting anything heavy or hot on it. After that, trivets and chopping boards are your best protection.
A chip on an edge can grow, and on laminate, water can get into the core. An early repair prevents it.
