Worktop repair at your home in Hoveton
Matching a pattern is the skilled part of a worktop repair. Colour, flecks and veining are recreated by hand so the repair blends in. Typical jobs include damage around the sink cut-out and knife marks, across quartz, laminate and solid surface (such as Corian).
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a worktop means removing the old one, templating and fitting a replacement and refitting the sink and hob, and matching the rest of the kitchen can be hard. A repair leaves the worktop in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Hoveton questions
Can you repair a chipped quartz worktop?
Yes. We repair quartz chips regularly, matched and polished.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.
What information do you need?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
What a repair cannot fix
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Severe heat marks in quartz
- A cracked stone top that’s unsupported
- Failed support under the worktop

Landlords, agents and businesses in Hoveton

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.
How we price worktop repair
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- The colour and finish to match
- What the surface is made of
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What kind of damage it is
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Quotes from your photos
Phone pictures are fine. Just make sure we can see:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One picture of the entire worktop
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
What happens on the day
On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours, depending on the damage. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.
- We start by checking the damage and the worktop material.
- Next we clean up and prepare the damaged area.
- A filler that suits the material goes in, and missing edges are rebuilt.
- The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
- The surface is sealed or finished to suit the worktop.
Before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
How to get a price
Most clients in Hoveton get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Advice
Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Clean spills right away
- Re-oil timber worktops
- Chopping boards prevent scratches
- Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.
Edge chips can get bigger, and water can reach the core of laminate. Repairing it early stops that.
