Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Watch the edges with heavy pans
- Don’t leave spills to soak in
- Never put hot pans down directly
- Re-oil timber worktops
Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.
Daily use can make burns and chips worse. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.
Repairing versus replacing in Howegreen
Even a single new length of worktop means templating, cutting and refitting the sink and hob. A repair is a few hours with everything left in place. Our worktop repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can you quote from photos?
Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Granite and stone
Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.
