DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

A DIY attempt is not 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 photos, as it can add time.

Work for landlords and builders

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Hertfordshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Different materials, different repairs

Quartz

Quartz is tough, though edges can chip. Chips are filled with tinted resin and polished.

Granite and stone

Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.

When to call us in Hinxworth

Around the sink, water gets into joints on laminate and wood, and that can make them swell.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • Damage from fitting or building work
  • Cuts and scratches in the surface
  • Damage to a stone worktop
  • A chipped edge

Comparing quotes

Choosing a repair company

Repair or replace: which is better?

If the worktop is swollen by water or badly damaged along its length, replacement may be the answer. For chips, burns and scratches, a repair is the better value. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Hinxworth. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why Hinxworth customers choose us

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

See our pricing.

Looking after it afterwards

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Chopping boards prevent scratches
  • Wipe up spills quickly
  • Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
  • Keep joints and edges dry

Leave the repaired area free of hot or heavy items until it has cured. After that, trivets and chopping boards are your best protection.

Daily use can make burns and chips worse. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.

What worktop repair costs

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Hinxworth. What changes the price is:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Access to the area
  • How much damage there is

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Quotes from your photos

Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Details of any past repairs
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

What happens on the day

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Allow a few hours, depending on the damage. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We assess the damage and the worktop material.
  2. We clean the area and prepare the edges of the damage.
  3. A filler that suits the material goes in, and missing edges are rebuilt.
  4. The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
  5. The surface is sealed or finished to suit the worktop.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Open a window if you can
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
