About our worktop repair in Hooe

Worktops are expensive to replace and hard to match, particularly where several lengths join. Repairing the damage keeps your kitchen as it is. Typical jobs include a dent from a dropped pan and a chipped edge, in granite & marble, solid surface (such as Corian) and quartz.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

When we’d advise against a repair

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
  • Discolouration deep in quartz
  • Cracks right through stone that has moved

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

Choosing a repair company

Hooe questions

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

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

Is a burnt worktop repairable?

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

Can you repair a chipped quartz worktop?

Yes, often. We match the colour and polish the repair.

Are there extra charges for Hooe?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

What do you need from me?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

What areas do you cover?

All of Plymouth, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Work for landlords and builders

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Plymouth and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll handle the rest.

The process

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours, depending on the damage.

  1. First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
  2. Burnt or loose material is cut back.
  3. The area is filled and shaped.
  4. The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
  5. We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Open a window if you can
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

What worktop repair costs

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How much damage there is

A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A wider photo showing the whole worktop

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Aftercare tips

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Wipe up spills quickly
  • Steer clear of strong cleaners
  • Keep a trivet by the hob
  • Don’t knock pans against the edge

Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe spills right away, and keep wooden tops oiled.

A chip on an edge can grow, and water can reach the core of laminate. Repairing it early stops that.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

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 generally the cheaper route.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Wood

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

Solid surface

Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so scratches and burns can frequently be sanded out and refinished.
