How the visit works

On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes a few hours, depending on the damage. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. The area around the damage is protected.
  2. We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
  3. We fill it and level it with the worktop.
  4. The colour and pattern are built up by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed and polished to match.

How to prepare

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Worktop repair at your home in Hollingbury

You don’t need a new worktop because of one mark. The damage is filled and refinished to blend into the surface around it. Common call-outs are for chips on edges and corners and gouges in the surface, in laminate, solid wood and quartz.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

How we price worktop repair

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • The material
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The colour and finish to match

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Send photos for a quote

You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

How to look after the repair

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Wipe up spills quickly
  • Don’t let water sit on joints
  • Do not cut directly on the worktop
  • Never put hot pans down directly

Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe spills immediately, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.

A burn or chip can get worse with daily use. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.

Questions from Hollingbury

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Can you repair a burn in a worktop?

Typically. A picture lets us check.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

How much does worktop repair cost in Hollingbury?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Can you quote from photos?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

Do you cover Hollingbury?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Hollingbury. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

What we’re called out for in Hollingbury

Most worktop damage takes a second: a hot pan put down without a trivet, or a heavy pan knocked against the edge. Scratches build up more slowly, from knives and grit.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Cuts and scratches in the surface
  • Snagging damage in a new kitchen
  • Gouges in the surface
  • Chipped corners

Before you book anyone

  • What aftercare is recommended
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • How your room will be protected
  • How soon you can use it again

10 questions to ask before you book

What we can’t put right

  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
  • A top that moves on its units
  • A cracked stone top that is unsupported

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

Landlord and trade work in Hollingbury

If you manage property in Hollingbury, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Quartz

Quartz is crushed stone bound with resin. Edge chips are very common, and we fill and polish them to match the sheen.

Granite and stone

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