Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

What happens on the day

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
  2. We cut back any burnt or loose material.
  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.

How to prepare

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Repairing versus replacing in Hopton

Even if you could get the same laminate, it may not match after years of light and use. We match the repair to your worktop as it is today. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why us?

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

See our prices page.

How to look after the repair

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Never put hot pans down directly
  • Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
  • Do not cut directly on the worktop
  • Do not let water sit on joints

Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.

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

What your worktop is made of matters

Solid surface

Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so marks can frequently be sanded and refinished.

Granite and stone

Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.

Common problems we fix in Hopton

Worktops take more punishment than anything else in the kitchen. Hot pans leave burns, knives cut, and edges chip when heavy pans or tins hit them.

Common reasons people in Hopton contact us are:

  • Scratches and knife marks
  • Damage to a stone worktop
  • Damage around the sink cut-out
  • A heat mark or burn

What your quote should include

  • How long it needs to cure
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How to care for the finish
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

Choosing a repair company

What we cannot put right

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:

  • A cracked stone top that is unsupported
  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
  • Water-swollen laminate

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

Materials we work on in Hopton

Can you price it without visiting?

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Do you cover the whole of Suffolk?

All of Suffolk, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Hopton.

Can you repair a chipped quartz worktop?

Yes. Chips on edges and around the sink are very common repairs, filled and polished to match.
