Is my repair covered?

Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Yes, the pattern is built up by hand.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
How we handle worktop repair in Honicknowle

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

How the visit works
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- First we look at the damage and what the worktop is made of.
- Next we clean up and prepare the damaged area.
- We fill with a filler suited to the material and rebuild any missing edge.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- Finally we seal or finish the area to match.
Before we arrive
- Open a window if you can
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Ask for a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
Advice
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Quartz
Quartz is tough, though edges can chip. We fill chips with a tinted resin and polish them to the worktop’s finish.
Granite and stone
Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Take care with heavy pans near edges
- Don’t leave spills to soak in
- Use a chopping board
- Steer clear of strong cleaners
Keep joints and the sink edge dry, especially on laminate and wood.
A burn or chip can get worse with daily use. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.

What we’re called out for in Honicknowle
The worst damage frequently happens in a moment: a hot pan set straight down, or a heavy pan catching the edge. Scratches build up more slowly, from knives and grit.
Clients generally contact us about:
- Chipped corners
- Scorch marks from pans
- Scratches and knife marks
- Chips near the sink
Questions to ask before you book
- Who turns up on the day
- When it can be used again
- How the colour is matched
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
Should you replace it?
Even a single new length of worktop means templating, cutting and refitting the sink and hob. A repair takes a few hours and leaves everything in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Honicknowle
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.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Honicknowle as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
