Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Different materials, different repairs
Quartz
Quartz worktops are mostly stone set in resin. We fill and polish chipped edges.
Laminate
Laminate is a printed surface bonded to a board. Damage is filled and the pattern painted in by hand.

- We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
- We cut back any burnt or loose material.
- The area is filled and shaped.
- The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
- It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.

Advice
Houndscroft: your questions answered
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Can a scorch mark be fixed?
Typically, yes. The burn is cut back, filled and patterned to match.
Do you repair quartz?
Yes, frequently. We match the colour and polish the repair.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Can you match the pattern on my worktop?
Colour, flecks and veins are recreated by hand, for a repair that blends in.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material
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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Send pictures for a quote
You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Natural light rather than flash
- Details of any past repairs
- A wider photo showing the whole worktop
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
