We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  2. We cut back any burnt or loose material.
  3. The area is filled and shaped.
  4. We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
  5. It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

When a repair isn’t the answer

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • A cracked stone top that’s unsupported
  • Failed support under the worktop
  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

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

What affects the price in Hoften's Cross

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Quotes from your pictures

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

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the worktop, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

What your worktop is made of matters

Granite and stone

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

Quartz

Quartz is hard, but its edges are brittle. We fill chips with a tinted resin and polish them to the worktop’s finish.

Why repair rather than replace?

Swollen or badly damaged laminate may need replacing. For chips, burns and scratches, a repair is the better value. Our worktop repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

What you get with us

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hoften's Cross as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Aftercare tips

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Always use a trivet for hot pans
  • Wipe up spills quickly
  • Dry around the sink and joints
  • Steer clear of strong cleaners

Let the repair cure for the time we give you before putting anything heavy or hot on it. After that, trivets and chopping boards are your best protection.

Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, because water gets in and swells the board.
