Questions from Hobbs Cross
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
What happens after I send photos?
You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.
Is there a call-out fee?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Hobbs Cross.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Is a burnt worktop repairable?
In most cases. A picture lets us check.
Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Keep joints and edges dry
- Clean spills immediately
- Use a chopping board
- Steer clear of strong cleaners
Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, especially on laminate and wood.
Don’t leave damage by the sink, as water can get in and cause swelling.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Laminate
Laminate is a printed surface over a board. We fill the damage and recreate the pattern.
Solid surface
Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so marks can often be sanded and refinished.
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. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Why us?
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Rooms protected and left tidy

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
How we price worktop repair
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material and finish
- How hard the colour is to match
- What kind of damage it is
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
How to get a fixed quote
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Natural light rather than flash
- One picture of the entire worktop
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire worktop, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Severe heat marks in quartz
- Through cracks in stone that is moving
- A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
