How we handle worktop repair in Humshaugh
Different worktops need different repairs: 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 work on quartz, solid surface (such as Corian) and granite & marble, and common reasons people get in touch are damage from fitting or building work and damage to a stone worktop.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

How to care for the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Do not let water sit on joints
- Don’t knock pans against the edge
- Chopping boards prevent scratches
- Never put hot pans down directly
Let the repair cure for the time we give you before putting anything heavy or hot on it. After that, trivets and chopping boards protect it best.
Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, as water can get in and cause swelling.
Humshaugh questions
Can a scorch mark be fixed?
Frequently, yes. We remove the damaged surface, fill it and recreate the pattern.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.
Do you cover Humshaugh?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Humshaugh. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
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.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

What worktop repair costs
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Humshaugh. The price reflects:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The colour and finish to match
- Access to the area
A few things move the price: 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
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Details of any past repairs
- Where you are, by postcode
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Repairs by material
Solid surface
Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so marks can often be sanded and refinished.
Quartz
Quartz is crushed stone bound with resin. We fill and polish chipped edges.
The process
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- The area around the damage is protected.
- We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
- It’s filled and levelled with the surface.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- We seal and polish it to the right sheen.
Getting ready for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Getting a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
Advice
Repair or replace: which is better?
Even if you could get the same laminate, it may not match after years of light and use. We match the repair to your worktop as it is today. Prices start 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.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
