FAQs for Horton
Is a burnt worktop repairable?
In most cases. Send us a picture and we will tell you.
Can you match the pattern on my worktop?
We match colour, flecks and veining by hand, for a repair that blends in.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Can a quartz edge be fixed?
Yes. The repair is colour-matched and polished to the quartz’s finish.
Worktop repair in Horton without replacing anything
You do not need a new worktop because of one mark. The damage is filled and refinished so it blends into the pattern. We work on solid surface (such as Corian), granite & marble and solid wood, and common reasons people contact us are damage to a stone worktop and dents and gouges.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back.

- The area around the damage is protected.
- The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
- We fill it and level it with the worktop.
- The colour and pattern are built up by hand.
- The repair is sealed and polished to match.
Before we arrive

- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
How to get a price
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Why repair rather than replace?
If the worktop is swollen by water or badly damaged along its length, replacement may be the answer. For chips, burns and scratches, a repair is the better value. Our worktop repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What a repair can’t fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
- Water-swollen laminate
- A cracked stone top that’s unsupported

Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Keep joints and edges dry
- Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
- Don’t knock pans against the edge
- Don’t cut directly on the worktop
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.
A burn or chip can get worse with daily use particularly around the sink. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.
