About our worktop repair in Hillswick
We repair worktops in place, with the area around the damage covered. Most jobs take a few hours, and you can use the worktop again shortly afterwards. We regularly repair quartz, solid surface (such as Corian) and laminate, and common reasons people contact us are chips in quartz or granite and dents and gouges.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Cracks right through stone that has moved
- Water-swollen laminate
- Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair

Common problems we fix in Hillswick
Most worktop damage takes a second: a hot pan set straight down, or a heavy pan catching the edge. Scratches build up more slowly, from knives and grit.
Look out for these signs:
- Chips in quartz or granite
- Burns from hot pans
- A damaged sink edge
- Chips on edges and corners

How we price worktop repair
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- The type of damage
- Doing more than one item at once
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The colour and finish to match
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
How to get a fixed quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Where you are, by postcode
- Details of any past repairs
- Something in shot to show the size
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.
Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
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.

FAQs for Hillswick
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is a burnt worktop repairable?
Usually. A picture lets us check.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Hillswick included. Travel is included in the price.
Will the price change on the day?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
What happens next?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Why repair rather than replace?
Even a single new length of worktop means templating, cutting and refitting the sink and hob. A repair is a few hours with everything left in place. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Hillswick. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Repairs by material
Quartz
Quartz worktops are mostly stone set in resin. Edge chips are very common, and we fill and polish them to match the sheen.
Granite and stone
Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.
What happens on the day
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We protect the rest of the kitchen.
- We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
- It’s filled and levelled with the surface.
- The colour and pattern are built up by hand.
- The repair is sealed and polished to match.
Before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

How to look after the repair
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Keep wood oiled
- Clean spills right away
- Watch the edges with heavy pans
- Never put hot pans down directly
Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.
A burn or chip can get worse with daily use, especially near the sink. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.
