Worktop repair for Holmes homes

How we price worktop repair

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The colour and finish to match

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Send photos for a quote

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.

Worktop repair in Holmes, done in place

Burns from hot pans, chips on edges and scratches from knives make up most of our worktop work. We repair them all in your kitchen. If you’re dealing with scorch marks from pans and a damaged sink edge, we can help, whatever the material.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Holmes as everywhere else we work.

What we cannot put right

We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Water-swollen laminate
  • A cracked stone top that’s unsupported
  • Failed support under the worktop

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Materials we work on in Holmes

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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 normally the cheaper route.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

For landlords and businesses

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Questions from Holmes

Do I need to clear the kitchen?

Just clear the area around the damage. We protect the rest of the kitchen.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, typically with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Will the repair match a patterned worktop?

Yes, the pattern is built up by hand so it blends in.

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Can you quote from photos?

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

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. A repair keeps your existing worktop. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Why us?

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Work done at your home or business

Repairs by material

Granite and stone

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

Wood

Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, and burns and dents repaired.

The process

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. The area around the damage is protected.
  2. We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
  3. It’s filled and levelled with the surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed and polished to match.

Before we arrive

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

How to get a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Looking after it afterwards

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

  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
  • Chopping boards prevent scratches
  • Do not knock pans against the edge
  • Dry around the sink and joints

Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.

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