Worktop repair at your home in Hoddesdon
Different worktops need different repairs: laminate is filled and patterned, quartz and stone are filled and polished, and wood is sanded and refinished. The goal is always a repair that blends in. If you’re dealing with a chipped quartz edge and knife marks, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back.

Different materials, different repairs
Quartz
Quartz worktops are mostly stone set in resin. Edge chips are very common, and we fill and polish them.
Solid surface
Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so marks can often be sanded and refinished.
Why repair rather than replace?
An identical replacement may look different next to aged worktops. We match the repair to your worktop as it is today. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

What worktop repair costs
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The colour and finish to match
- How much damage there is
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed price
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- The material, if you know it
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
What happens on the day
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.
- We protect the rest of the kitchen.
- The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
- It’s filled and levelled with the surface.
- The colour and pattern are built up by hand.
- The repair is sealed and polished to match.
How to prepare
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Your questions about worktop repair in Hoddesdon
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
How do I get a price for worktop repair in Hoddesdon?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
Do you repair quartz?
Yes. We repair quartz chips regularly, matched and polished.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.
Can you match the pattern on my worktop?
We match colour, flecks and veining by hand, for a repair that blends in.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Do I need to empty the worktop?
Only around the repair. You can typically still use the rest of the kitchen.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
Work for landlords and builders
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
