Keeping it looking good

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Take care with heavy pans near edges
  • Keep a trivet by the hob
  • Oil wooden tops regularly
  • Steer clear of strong cleaners

Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.

Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, as water can get in and cause swelling.

Repair or replace in Hockliffe?

Replacing even one length of worktop means templating, cutting, fitting and often a new sink and hob connection. A repair is a few hours with everything left in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why Hockliffe customers choose us

  • Work done at your home or business
  • Everything repaired in place
  • One visit for most repairs
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

What we do, step by step

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes a few hours, depending on the damage. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
  2. Burnt or loose material is cut back.
  3. We fill and shape the damaged area.
  4. We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
  5. It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Open a window if you can

Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.

What worktop repair costs

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • The type of damage
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Hockliffe. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to get a fixed quote

You can take the photos on your phone. Ensure they show:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
