Worktop repair in Hobson, done in place
Worktops are expensive to replace and hard to match, especially in an L-shaped or long kitchen. Repairing the damage keeps your kitchen as it is. We are often asked to fix scratches and knife marks and damage to a stone worktop, in granite & marble, laminate and solid wood.

How it works
Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We assess the damage and the worktop material.
- Next we clean up and prepare the damaged area.
- We fill the damage with a suitable filler and build up any lost edge.
- The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
- Finally we seal or finish the area to match.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
How to get a price
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Advice
Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Dry around the sink and joints
- Chopping boards prevent scratches
- Do not knock pans against the edge
- Keep a trivet by the hob
Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe spills straight away, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.
A chip on an edge can grow, and on laminate, water can get into the core. Repairing it early stops that.

FAQs for Hobson
Can I get a quote without a visit?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Is the work guaranteed?

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

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.
Will the price change on the day?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Hobson
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

- Scratches and knife marks
- A chipped edge
- Burns from hot pans
- Damage to a stone worktop

Repairs by material
Wood
Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, and burns and dents repaired.
Solid surface
Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so scratches and burns can often be sanded out and refinished.
How we price worktop repair
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What kind of damage it is
- The material
- Whether we combine several jobs
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book.
Send photos for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
If you’re in Hobson and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Honest limits
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Cracks right through stone that has moved
- Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
- Failed support under the worktop
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
