What worktop repair costs
Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Humby. The price comes down to:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What the surface is made of
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How much damage there is
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Humby. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Details of any past repairs
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The material, if you know it
For a price in Humby, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
How we handle worktop repair in Humby
We repair worktops in place, with the area around the damage covered. Most jobs take a few hours, and you can use the worktop again shortly afterwards. We regularly repair granite & marble, quartz and laminate, and the jobs we see most are gouges in the surface and chipped corners.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

What we can’t put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A top that moves on its units
- Severe heat marks in quartz
- A cracked stone top that’s unsupported
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair
- Quartz
- Laminate
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Granite & marble
- Solid wood
Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Re-oil timber worktops
- Don’t leave spills to soak in
- Don’t knock pans against the edge
- Steer clear of strong cleaners
Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe spills right away, and keep wooden tops oiled.
Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, as water can get in and cause swelling.
Common problems we fix in Humby

For landlords and businesses
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
How it works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which generally takes a few hours. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- We protect the rest of the kitchen.
- We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
- We fill it and level it with the worktop.
- The colour and pattern are built up by hand.
- We seal and polish it to the right sheen.
Preparing for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
How to get a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Common questions in Humby
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
What do you need from me?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Can a quartz edge be fixed?
Yes. Chips on edges and around the sink are very common repairs, matched and polished.
Can you match the pattern on my worktop?
Yes. We recreate the pattern by hand.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Repair or replace: which is better?
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. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
