Worktop repair at your home in Hillcommon
Different worktops need different repairs: laminate is filled and patterned, quartz and stone are filled and polished, and wood is sanded and refinished. The goal is always a repair that blends in. We’re often asked to fix a heat mark or burn and dents and gouges, on laminate, solid surface (such as Corian) and granite & marble.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Work for landlords and builders
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
What happens on the day
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a few hours, tidy-up included.
- We protect the rest of the kitchen.
- We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
- It’s filled and levelled with the surface.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- We seal and polish it to the right sheen.
Preparing for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Clear the area around the damage
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Getting a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire worktop, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Advice
Common questions in Hillcommon
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Can you repair a chipped quartz worktop?
Yes. Chips on edges and around the sink are very common repairs, matched and polished.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
