Worktop repair in Hockley, Birmingham
Problem with your worktop in Hockley? We repair it in place, mix the colour on the day and back it with a one-year guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- Chips near the sink
- A dent from a dropped pan
Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Keep a trivet by the hob
- Oil wooden tops regularly
- Do not knock pans against the edge
- Use a chopping board
Leave the repaired area free of hot or heavy items until it has cured. After that, trivets and chopping boards are your best protection.
A chip on an edge can grow, and water can reach the core of laminate. An early repair prevents it.

Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Wood
Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, with burns and dents put right.
Solid surface
Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so marks can often be sanded and refinished.
Work for landlords and builders
For developers and builders, we fix 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.
If you manage property in Hockley, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
When a repair is not the answer
We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Discolouration deep in quartz
- Laminate that has blown or swollen
- A top that moves on its units
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on
- Quartz
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Solid wood
- Laminate
- Granite & marble
Should you replace it?
Stone and quartz have to be templated and cut, so replacing a section takes time and money. A repair takes a few hours. Our worktop repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
