DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, 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.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Hincaster
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hincaster use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
What we’re called out for in Hincaster
Edges and corners chip most frequently, often when something heavy catches the edge.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Damage to a stone worktop
- Snagging damage in a new kitchen
- Scorch marks from pans
- Cuts and scratches in the surface
Questions to ask before you book
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- What happens if they find more damage
- How to look after the finish
- What protection goes down before work starts
Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Don’t leave spills to soak in
- Don’t cut directly on the worktop
- Take care with heavy pans near edges
- Keep a trivet by the hob
Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe spills immediately, and keep wooden tops oiled.
A burn or chip can get worse with daily use. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.
FAQs for Hincaster
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Do you repair quartz?
Yes. We repair quartz chips regularly, matched and polished.
Is a burnt worktop repairable?
Typically. Send us a picture and we’ll tell you.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
How much does worktop repair cost in Hincaster?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
How much do I need to move?
Just near the damage. You can generally still use the rest of the kitchen.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
How it works
We turn up at the time we agreed with you 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 morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
- Burnt or loose material is cut back.
- The area is filled and shaped.
- The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
- We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.
Before we arrive
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Open a window if you can
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

Repairs by material
Quartz
Quartz is hard, but its edges are brittle. Chips are filled with tinted resin and polished to the worktop’s finish.
Granite and stone
Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.
When we would advise against a repair
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Water-swollen laminate
- Failed support under the worktop
- Cracks right through stone that has moved
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
What we work on
- Laminate
- Solid wood
- Quartz
- Granite & marble
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
Why repair rather than replace?
Even a single new length of worktop means templating, cutting and refitting the sink and hob. A repair takes a few hours and leaves everything in place. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
