What affects the price in Hunwick
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What kind of damage it is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
How to get a fixed price
You can take the pictures on your phone. Make sure they show:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One picture of the whole worktop
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Worktop repair in Hunwick, done in place
A worktop repair is carried out in your kitchen, with the rest of the kitchen protected. Most jobs take a few hours, and you can use the worktop again shortly afterwards. If you’re dealing with chips caused during installation and a chipped edge, we can usually put it right.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Landlord and trade work in Hunwick
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hunwick as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Keep joints and edges dry
- Re-oil timber worktops
- Do not cut directly on the worktop
- Clean spills immediately
Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, especially on laminate and wood.
Daily use can make burns and chips worse, especially near the sink. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.

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 generally far better value. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Hunwick. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

The process
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
- We cut back any burnt or loose material.
- The area is filled and shaped.
- The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
- We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Getting a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
Related advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Hunwick: your questions answered
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Do I need to empty the worktop?
Just clear the area around the damage. The rest is covered and protected.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can you repair a burn in a worktop?
In most cases. Send us a picture and we will tell you.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Are there extra charges for Hunwick?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.
