Worktop repair in Hoxton without replacing anything
Each type of worktop needs a different approach: laminate is filled and patterned, quartz and stone are filled and polished, and wood is sanded and refinished. The goal is always a repair that blends in. We’re frequently asked to fix scratches and knife marks and a chipped quartz edge, across laminate, granite & marble and quartz.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it.

Should you replace it?
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. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

What worktop repair costs
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- What the surface is made of
- How much damage there is
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Hoxton. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Quotes from your pictures
You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any details about the material
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.

Repairs by material
Quartz
Quartz is tough, though edges can chip. We fill chips with a tinted resin and polish them.
Solid surface
Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so scratches and burns can frequently be sanded out and refinished.
What we do, step by step
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
- Burnt or loose material is cut back.
- We fill and shape the damaged area.
- We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
- It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Getting a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.
Advice
Questions from Hoxton
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
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. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can a quartz edge be fixed?
Yes. The repair is colour-matched and polished to the quartz’s finish.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
How much do I need to move?
Just near the damage. The rest of the kitchen stays usable.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
How to care for the repair
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
- Chopping boards prevent scratches
- Do not leave spills to soak in
- Keep wood oiled
Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, particularly with laminate and timber.
Edge chips can get bigger, and on laminate, water can get into the core. An early repair prevents it.
