FAQs for Hillhead
Can you repair a burn in a worktop?
Usually, yes. The burn is cut back, filled and patterned to match.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Do you come to Hillhead?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Hillhead from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.
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.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Advice
Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
- Always use a trivet for hot pans
- Wipe up spills quickly
- Take care with heavy pans near edges
Leave the repaired area free of hot or heavy items until it has cured. After that, trivets and chopping boards protect it best.
Daily use can make burns and chips worse particularly around the sink. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.

Repair or replace: which is better?
A new worktop means taking out the damaged top, templating and fitting a replacement and refitting the sink and hob, and it may not match the rest of the kitchen. A repair leaves the worktop in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
