FAQs for Holcombe
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
Will the repair match a patterned worktop?
We match colour, flecks and veining by hand, for a repair that blends in.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
What does worktop repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your BL8 postcode.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
What happens after I send pictures?
We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. You are under no obligation.
How we handle worktop repair in Holcombe
We repair worktops in place. Most jobs take a few hours, and you can use the worktop again shortly afterwards. We’re frequently asked to fix chips caused during installation and a heat mark or burn, on solid wood, quartz and laminate.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

What else we do in Holcombe
What worktop repair costs
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- What the surface is made of
- How hard the colour is to match
- How much damage there is
- What kind of damage it is
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
How to get a fixed price
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Any details about the material
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
Work for landlords and builders
For anyone letting property in or around Holcombe, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Honest limits
A repair is not right for every job, for example:
- Water-swollen laminate
- Discolouration deep in quartz
- A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
Repairing versus replacing in Holcombe
Replacing even one length of worktop means templating, cutting, fitting and frequently a new sink and hob connection. A repair takes a few hours and leaves everything in place. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Different materials, different repairs
Granite and stone
Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.
Solid surface
Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so marks can frequently be sanded and refinished.
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Chopping boards prevent scratches
- Do not knock pans against the edge
- Keep a trivet by the hob
- Oil wooden tops regularly
Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe spills right away, and keep wooden tops oiled.
Don’t leave damage by the sink, as water can get in and cause swelling.
