Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
Quotes from your pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Getting a price is easy: 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’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
What we do, step by step
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- We assess the damage and the worktop material.
- The area is cleaned and the edges of the damage prepared.
- We fill the damage with a suitable filler and build up any lost edge.
- The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
- Finally we seal or finish the area to match.
Preparing for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Make sure the room can be ventilated

Related advice
Hunger Hill: your questions answered
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.
What do you need from me?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
How to care for the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Dry around the sink and joints
- Don’t cut directly on the worktop
- Steer clear of strong cleaners
- Keep a trivet by the hob
Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe spills immediately, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.
A burn or chip can get worse with daily use, especially near the sink. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 frequently lifts.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
