For landlords and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll handle the rest.
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
What we can’t put right
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- A top that moves on its units
- A cracked stone top that’s unsupported
- Severe heat marks in quartz
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Materials we work on in Hook's Cross
- Granite & marble
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Quartz
- Laminate
- Solid wood
DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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.
What happens on the day
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 morning or an afternoon, tidy-up included.
- We start by checking the damage and the worktop material.
- We clean the area and prepare the edges of the damage.
- We fill the damage with a suitable filler and build up any lost edge.
- We match the colour and pattern by hand.
- We seal or finish the surface to suit the worktop.
Preparing for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
How to get a price
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole worktop, we can price the job without visiting.

What worktop repair costs
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- The colour and finish to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What the surface is made of
- The type of damage
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Quotes from your photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A wider photo showing the whole worktop
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Something in shot to show the size
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Repairs by material
Solid surface
Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so scratches and burns can frequently be sanded out and refinished.
Laminate
Laminate is a printed surface bonded to a board. We fill damage and paint in the pattern by hand.

Do you need worktop repair in Hook's Cross?
The worst damage often 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.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Knife marks
- Gouges in the surface
- Snagging damage in a new kitchen
- A heat mark or burn
What to look for in a quote
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers

Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
- Wipe up spills quickly
- Never put hot pans down directly
- Don’t cut directly on the worktop
Leave the repaired area free of hot or heavy items until it has cured. After that, trivets and chopping boards protect it best.
A chip on an edge can grow, and water can reach the core of laminate. Repairing it early stops that.
