What we’re called out for in Houghton Conquest
Most worktop damage takes a second: a hot pan set straight down, or a heavy pan catching the edge. Scratches build up gradually from knives and grit.
People typically call us after spotting one of these:
- Burns from hot pans
- Snagging damage in a new kitchen
- Chips on edges and corners
- Chips near the sink
Before booking anyone
- When it can be used again
- What preparation is included
- Who will actually do the work
- Whether the price covers travel
When we’d advise against a repair
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Laminate that has blown or swollen
- Failed support under the worktop
- Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we work on in Houghton Conquest
- Granite & marble
- Quartz
- Laminate
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Solid wood
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
What affects the price in Houghton Conquest
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The type of damage
- Access to the area
- The material
A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The material, if you know it
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.

What else we do in Houghton Conquest
DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
The process
Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.
- We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
- We cut back any burnt or loose material.
- We fill and shape the damaged area.
- The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
- We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Common questions in Houghton Conquest
What happens next?
You’ll get a fixed quote back. You’re under no obligation.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Will the repair match a patterned worktop?
Colour, flecks and veins are recreated by hand, for a repair that blends in.
What happens if you find more damage?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Do you cover the entire of Central Bedfordshire?
Everywhere in the UK, Houghton Conquest included. Travel is included in the price.
Can you repair a burn in a worktop?
In most cases. Send us a picture and we will tell you.
Should you replace it?
Stone and quartz tops are templated and cut to fit, so replacing one section is a big job. A repair takes a few hours. Our worktop repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Houghton Conquest. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Why us?
- Same prices wherever you are
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- Colour-matched on site
- Rooms protected and left tidy

How to care for the repair
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Don’t leave spills to soak in
- Always use a trivet for hot pans
- Chopping boards prevent scratches
- Do not knock pans against the edge
Keep joints and the sink edge dry, especially on laminate and wood.
A chip on an edge can grow, and water can reach the core of laminate. An early repair prevents it.
