How we handle worktop repair in Hilton

Pan burns, chipped edges and knife scratches are the most common worktop repairs. All are repaired in place. We regularly repair quartz, granite & marble and solid wood, and common reasons people get in touch are a chipped quartz edge and scorch marks from pans.

Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

When a repair is not the answer

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath
  • Cracks right through stone that has moved
  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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, and the work is guaranteed.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 frequently lifts.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Send photos for a quote

You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • One picture of the whole worktop
  • Any details about the material
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • 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.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a worktop means taking out the damaged top, cutting and fitting a new one and refitting the sink and hob, and it may not match the rest of the kitchen. A repair leaves the worktop in place. Prices start from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

What you get with us

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • No need to remove anything

Your questions about worktop repair in Hilton

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Can you quote from pictures?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Do you cover Hilton?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Hilton. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Looking after it afterwards

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

  • Wipe up spills quickly
  • Do not knock pans against the edge
  • Steer clear of strong cleaners
  • Dry around the sink and joints

Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe up spills promptly, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.

A burn or chip can get worse with daily use, especially near the sink. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.

For landlords and businesses

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

How it works

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. The area around the damage is protected.
  2. We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
  3. It’s filled and levelled with the surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed and polished to match.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
