How to care for the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Always use a trivet for hot pans
- Keep wood oiled
- Steer clear of strong cleaners
- Watch the edges with heavy pans
Let the repair cure for the time we give you before putting anything heavy or hot on it. After that, trivets and chopping boards are your best protection.
Edge chips can get bigger, and on laminate, water can get into the core. Repairing it early stops that.

What else we do in Hunsonby
Hunsonby: your questions answered
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
How do I book?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Can you match the pattern on my worktop?
Yes, the pattern is built up by hand so it blends in.
Do I need to empty the worktop?
Just near the damage. You can generally still use the rest of the kitchen.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK, so Hunsonby is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Should you replace it?
If the worktop is swollen by water or badly damaged along its length, replacement may be the answer. For chips, burns and scratches, repair is typically far better value. Our worktop repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. 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.

Advice
When a repair is not the answer
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- Failed support under the worktop
- Laminate that has blown or swollen
- Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Quartz
- Laminate
- Granite & marble
- Solid wood
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
How we price worktop repair
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- The material
- What kind of damage it is
- The colour and finish to match
- How much damage there is
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Hunsonby. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Send photos for a quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- Any details about the material
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A wider photo showing the whole worktop
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your CA10 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Repairs by material
Laminate
A laminate worktop is a thin decorative layer on a board. Damage is filled and the pattern painted in by hand.
Quartz
Quartz is crushed stone bound with resin. Edge chips are very common, and we fill and polish them to match the sheen.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. 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.
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.
