Common questions in Knebworth
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

What we do, step by step
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours, depending on the damage. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- First we look at the damage and what the worktop is made of.
- Next we clean up and prepare the damaged area.
- We fill the damage with a suitable filler and build up any lost edge.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- We seal or finish the surface to suit the worktop.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
How to get a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Advice
Do you need worktop repair in Knebworth?
The worst damage often happens in a moment: a hot pan set straight down, or a heavy pan catching the edge. Scratches build up more slowly, from knives and grit.
Most people contact us after spotting one of these:
- Chipped corners
- A dent from a dropped pan
- Knife marks
- Damage from fitting or building work
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the price covers travel
- What preparation is included
- When it can be used again
- Whether they match the colour on site
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a worktop means taking out the damaged top, templating and fitting a replacement and refitting the sink and hob, and it may not match the rest of the kitchen. Repairing the damage leaves the worktop in place. Our worktop repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.
Why book with us
- No need to remove anything
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- Rooms protected and left tidy
See our prices page.
What a repair can’t fix
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Discolouration deep in quartz
- Through cracks in stone that is moving
- Failed support under the worktop
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Solid wood
- Laminate
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Granite & marble
- Quartz

Landlords, agents and businesses in Knebworth
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
How to care for the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Always use a trivet for hot pans
- Take care with heavy pans near edges
- Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
- Oil wooden tops regularly
Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, particularly with laminate and timber.
A burn or chip can get worse with daily use, especially near the sink. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.
DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Laminate
A laminate worktop is a thin decorative layer on a board. We fill damage and paint in the pattern by hand.
Granite and stone
Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.
