Our hiring checklist

Worktop repair in Hillhouse, done in place

Worktops are expensive to replace and hard to match, especially in an L-shaped or long kitchen. A repair leaves the kitchen untouched. We regularly repair granite & marble, quartz and laminate, and the jobs we see most are chipped corners and damage around the sink cut-out.

Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee.

Looking after it afterwards

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Don’t cut directly on the worktop
  • Don’t knock pans against the edge
  • Oil wooden tops regularly
  • Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz

Let the repair cure for the time we give you before putting anything heavy or hot on it. After that, trivets and chopping boards protect it best.

Edge chips can get bigger, and water can reach the core of laminate. Repairing it early stops that.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Quotes from your photos

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The material, if you know it
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole worktop, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

What we can’t put right

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Severe heat marks in quartz
  • A cracked stone top that’s unsupported
  • Laminate that has blown or swollen

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What we work on

  • Laminate
  • Quartz
  • Solid surface (such as Corian)
  • Solid wood
  • Granite & marble

Repair or replace: which is better?

Even if you could get the same laminate, it may not match after years of light and use. A repair is matched to what you have now. Our worktop repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Why us?

  • Colour-matched on site
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Fixed prices from your photos

See our prices page.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
