What we do, step by step
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- 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.
- We match the colour and pattern by hand.
- Finally we seal or finish the area to match.
How to prepare
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

About our worktop repair in Howlish
Worktops are expensive to replace and hard to match, especially in an L-shaped or long kitchen. A repair leaves the kitchen untouched. We work on solid surface (such as Corian), solid wood and quartz, and common reasons people contact us are chips in quartz or granite and a damaged sink edge.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Howlish and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
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. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
What we can’t put right
A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
- Laminate that has blown or swollen
- A top that moves on its units
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Granite & marble
- Solid wood
- Laminate
- Quartz
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- Access to the area
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How hard the colour is to match
- Doing more than one item at once
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed quote
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Where you are, by postcode
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Should you replace it?
Swollen or badly damaged laminate may need replacing. For chips, burns and scratches, a repair is the better value. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Howlish. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Why us?
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- Typically one visit, start to finish
- Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- One-year guarantee on every repair

Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Do you repair quartz?
Yes, frequently. We match the colour and polish the repair.
Can you match granite flecks?
We match colour, flecks and veining by hand, so the repair blends into the surface.

Repairs by material
Granite and stone
Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.
Quartz
Quartz worktops are mostly stone set in resin. We fill and polish chipped edges to match the sheen.
Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Keep a trivet by the hob
- Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
- Do not leave spills to soak in
- Don’t let water sit on joints
Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe up spills promptly, and keep wooden tops oiled.
Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, as water can get in and cause swelling.
