Worktop repair for Holmcroft homes

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How much damage there is

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.

Quotes from your pictures

You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • One picture of the whole worktop
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Pan burns, chipped edges and knife scratches are the most common worktop repairs. All are repaired in place. Common call-outs are for a chipped edge and damage from fitting or building work, in laminate, solid surface (such as Corian) and granite & marble.

Common questions in Holmcroft

How much do I need to move?

Only around the repair. The rest of the kitchen stays usable.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Can you quote from photos?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Do you cover the whole of Staffordshire?

The whole UK, including all of Staffordshire. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

What happens after I send photos?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.

Can you repair a burn in a worktop?

Normally, yes. The burn is cut back, filled and patterned to match.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Signs you need worktop repair in Holmcroft

Most chips are on edges and corners, frequently when something heavy catches the edge.

The things customers usually mention when they call are:

  • A dent from a dropped pan
  • Chips caused during installation
  • Damage around the sink cut-out
  • Scratches and knife marks

What your quote should include

  • What prep work is covered
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included

Our hiring checklist

Aftercare tips

Aftercare is simple:

  • Do not knock pans against the edge
  • Keep joints and edges dry
  • Don’t leave spills to soak in
  • Do not cut directly on the worktop

Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, particularly with laminate and timber.

A burn or chip can get worse with daily use, especially near the sink. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.

How it works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. We assess the damage and the worktop material.
  2. Next we clean up and prepare the damaged area.
  3. We fill the damage with a suitable filler and build up any lost edge.
  4. The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
  5. The surface is sealed or finished to suit the worktop.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

How to get a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire worktop, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Related advice

Why repair rather than replace?

A new worktop means removing the old one, cutting and fitting a new one and refitting the sink and hob, and it may not match the rest of the kitchen. Repairing the damage leaves the worktop in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Holmcroft. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why book with us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • A fixed quote before you book

When we’d advise against a repair

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • Cracks right through stone that has moved
  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
  • Water-swollen laminate

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

What we work on

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Granite and stone

Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.

Wood

Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, with burns and dents put right.
