The process
We work cleanly and quietly. 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.
- We start by checking the damage and the worktop material.
- We clean the area and prepare the edges of the damage.
- A filler that suits the material goes in, and missing edges are rebuilt.
- We match the colour and pattern by hand.
- We seal or finish the surface to suit the worktop.
How to prepare
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Have a window or extractor fan available
How to get a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole worktop, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Granite and stone
Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.
Quartz
Quartz is hard, but its edges are brittle. We fill chips with a tinted resin and polish them to the worktop’s finish.
Repairing versus replacing in Horden
If the worktop is swollen by water or badly damaged along its length, replacement may be the answer. For chips, burns and scratches, repair is generally far better value. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What worktop repair costs
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many areas need work
- The material and finish
- Whether we combine several jobs
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A wider photo showing the whole worktop
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Horden questions
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
What happens next?
You will get a fixed quote back, normally with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
How much do I need to move?
Only the area we are working on. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
How much does worktop repair cost in Horden?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff:
- Do not knock pans against the edge
- Do not cut directly on the worktop
- Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
- Re-oil timber worktops
Let the repair cure for the time we give you before putting anything heavy or hot on it. After that, trivets and chopping boards are your best protection.
Do not leave damage by the sink, as water can get in and cause swelling.
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
