About our worktop repair in Kingston upon Hull
Matching a pattern is the skilled part of a worktop repair. We build up the colour and flecks by hand so the repair blends in. We work on quartz, granite & marble and solid surface (such as Corian), and common reasons people get in touch are knife marks and burns from hot pans.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.
Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Don’t let water sit on joints
- Take care with heavy pans near edges
- Clean spills immediately
- Never put hot pans down directly
Keep joints and the sink edge dry, especially on laminate and wood.
Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, as water can get in and cause swelling.

What happens on the day
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a morning or an afternoon. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We start by checking the damage and the worktop material.
- We clean the area and prepare the edges of the damage.
- A filler that suits the material goes in, and missing edges are rebuilt.
- We match the colour and pattern by hand.
- We seal or finish the surface to suit the worktop.
How to prepare
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
Ask for a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the worktop, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

How we price worktop repair
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- The material and finish
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many items we do on one visit
- Access to the area
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Kingston upon Hull. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- A wider photo showing the entire worktop
- The material, if you know it
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
