FAQs for Hitchin
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Do you repair quartz?
Yes, often. The repair is colour-matched and polished to the quartz’s finish.
How much does worktop repair cost in Hitchin?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Do you cover the entire of Hertfordshire?
We cover the whole UK, including Hitchin and the rest of Hertfordshire. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will confirm dates.
How it works
The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- We assess the damage and the worktop material.
- The area is cleaned and the edges of the damage prepared.
- A filler that suits the material goes in, and missing edges are rebuilt.
- The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
- Finally we seal or finish the area to match.
How to prepare
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
Ask for a price

Repair or replace in Hitchin?
Replacing a worktop means taking out the damaged top, cutting and fitting a new one and refitting the sink and hob, and matching the rest of the kitchen can be hard. A repair keeps your existing worktop. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Read our pricing.
What a repair cannot fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Laminate swollen by water from underneath
- Failed support under the worktop
- Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Quartz
- Granite & marble
- Solid wood
- Laminate
How to care for the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Never put hot pans down directly
- Use a chopping board
- Wipe up spills quickly
- 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.
Daily use can make burns and chips worse particularly around the sink. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.
How we price worktop repair
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material and finish
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Getting a price from photos
Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. It helps if you send:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Something in shot to show the size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through 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.
Repairs by material
Granite and stone
Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.

Work for landlords and builders

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 is easier on the people living there.
