How we handle worktop repair in Hurst
Different worktops need different repairs: we fill and pattern laminate, fill and polish quartz and stone, and sand and refinish wood. We always aim for a repair that blends in. Common call-outs are for cuts and scratches in the surface and a chipped edge, on solid wood, solid surface (such as Corian) and granite & marble.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it.

What worktop repair costs
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The type of damage
- The colour and finish to match
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from photos
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Where you are, by postcode
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Most clients in Hurst get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Keep a trivet by the hob
- Keep joints and edges dry
- Steer clear of strong cleaners
- Don’t knock pans against the edge
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.
A burn or chip can get worse with daily use particularly around the sink. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.
Do you need worktop repair in Hurst?
Most worktop damage takes a second: a hot pan set straight down, or a heavy pan catching the edge. Scratches build up gradually from knives and grit.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Scorch marks from pans
- A chipped quartz edge
- Knife marks
- A dent from a dropped pan
What your quote should include
- How your room will be protected
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- Who turns up on the day

Your questions about worktop repair in Hurst
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Do you cover the whole of Wokingham?
We work UK-wide, so Hurst is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Do I need to empty the worktop?
Just near the damage. The rest of the kitchen stays usable.
Should you replace it?
Replacing even one length of worktop means templating, cutting, fitting and often a new sink and hob connection. A repair is a few hours with everything left in place. Our worktop repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

Landlord and trade work in Hurst
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.
For anyone letting property in or around Hurst, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.
Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
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.
What happens on the day
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. It normally takes a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
- We cut back any burnt or loose material.
- We fill and shape the damaged area.
- We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
- We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.
How to prepare
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Clear the area around the damage
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
