Worktop repair in Hockley without replacing anything

We repair worktops in place, with the rest of the kitchen protected. Most jobs take a few hours, and you can use the worktop again shortly afterwards. We work on solid surface (such as Corian), solid wood and quartz, and people most often call us about chips in quartz or granite and snagging damage in a new kitchen.

Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Nottingham.

How we price worktop repair

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Hockley. The price reflects:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material and finish
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your photos

You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any details about the material
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A wider photo showing the whole worktop

You don’t 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’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Honest limits

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Discolouration deep in quartz
  • Through cracks in stone that is moving
  • Water-swollen laminate

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

  • Granite & marble
  • Laminate
  • Solid surface (such as Corian)
  • Quartz
  • Solid wood

Should you replace it?

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. Prices start from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Why Hockley customers choose us

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

Repairs by material

Granite and stone

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

Laminate

A laminate worktop is a thin decorative layer on a board. Damage is filled and the pattern painted in by hand.

FAQs for Hockley

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Can you match the pattern on my worktop?

We match colour, flecks and veining by hand, for a repair that blends in.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Can you quote from photos?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

How it works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Allow a few hours, depending on the damage from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to look after it.

  1. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
  2. We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
  3. It’s filled and levelled with the surface.
  4. The colour and pattern are built up by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed and polished to match.

How to prepare

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Open a window if you can

Ask for a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Aftercare tips

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Do not knock pans against the edge
  • Dry around the sink and joints
  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
  • Keep wood oiled

Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, particularly with laminate and timber.

Edge chips can get bigger, and water can reach the core of laminate. An early repair prevents it.

Landlord and trade work in Hockley

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hockley as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Letting agents often 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.
