Should I try a DIY kit first?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

What we do, step by step

We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours, depending on the damage. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. First we look at the damage and what the worktop is made of.
  2. The area is cleaned and the edges of the damage prepared.
  3. A filler that suits the material goes in, and missing edges are rebuilt.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal or finish the area to match.

Before we arrive

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

What a repair can’t fix

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Failed support under the worktop
  • Discolouration deep in quartz
  • Cracks right through stone that has moved

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we work on in Little Houghton

  • Solid surface (such as Corian)
  • Quartz
  • Granite & marble
  • Solid wood
  • Laminate

For landlords and businesses

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll handle the rest.

Should you replace it?

A new worktop means removing the old one, cutting and fitting a new one and refitting the sink and hob, and it may not match the rest of the kitchen. A repair leaves the worktop in place. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Little Houghton. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why book with us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • No need to remove anything
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

Take a look at our full price list.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Little Houghton. The price depends on:

  • How much damage there is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How hard the colour is to match

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Quotes from your photos

You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A wider photo showing the whole worktop
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Aftercare tips

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Oil wooden tops regularly
  • Keep a trivet by the hob
  • Don’t knock pans against the edge
  • Chopping boards prevent scratches

Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe up spills promptly, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.

A burn or chip can get worse with daily use. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.

Common questions in Little Houghton

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK, and that includes Little Houghton. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Common problems we fix in Little Houghton

Cut-outs for the sink and hob are the weakest parts, and that is where cracks often begin.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • Chips in quartz or granite
  • A dent from a dropped pan
  • Scratches and knife marks
  • Snagging damage in a new kitchen
