What else we do in Hollow Street
How to look after the repair
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Oil wooden tops regularly
- Wipe up spills quickly
- Always use a trivet for hot pans
- Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.
A chip on an edge can grow, and water can reach the core of laminate. An early repair prevents it.
What a repair cannot fix
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Discolouration deep in quartz
- Through cracks in stone that is moving
- Water-swollen laminate
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
Materials we work on in Hollow Street

Questions from Hollow Street
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Do you come to Hollow Street?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Hollow Street for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Which areas do you work in?
All of Kent, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Do you need worktop repair in Hollow Street?
The worst damage frequently happens in a moment: a hot pan set straight down, or a heavy pan catching the edge. Scratches build up gradually from knives and grit.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Chipped corners
- Damage to a stone worktop
- A damaged sink edge
- Gouges in the surface
Questions to ask before you book
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- How long it needs to cure
- If travel is included in the price
DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
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 generally the cheaper route.
What your worktop is made of matters
Wood
Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, and burns and dents repaired.
Quartz
Quartz is hard, but its edges are brittle. Chips are filled with tinted resin and polished to the worktop’s finish.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Stone and quartz tops are templated and cut to fit, so replacing one section is a big job. Repairing it is a few hours’ work. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.
