Worktop repair in Lower Hirst without replacing anything

Different worktops need different repairs: we fill and pattern laminate, fill and polish quartz and stone, and sand and refinish wood. The goal is always a repair that blends in. We work on granite & marble, laminate and solid wood, and common reasons people get in touch are cuts and scratches in the surface and burns from hot pans.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Lower Hirst. The price comes down to:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What the surface is made of
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How much damage there is

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Send pictures for a quote

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One picture of the whole worktop
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole worktop, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Lower Hirst: your questions answered

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.

Can a scorch mark be fixed?

In most cases. Send us a picture and we will tell you.

Do I need to clear the kitchen?

Only the area we’re working on. The rest is covered and protected.

Is my repair covered?

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

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Our hiring checklist

For landlords and businesses

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Lower Hirst use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Cracks right through stone that has moved
  • Severe heat marks in quartz
  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

What we do, step by step

Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
  2. The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
  3. We fill it and level it with the worktop.
  4. The colour and pattern are built up by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed and polished to match.

Before we arrive

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

How to get a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Related advice

What your worktop is made of matters

Granite and stone

Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.

Solid surface

Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so scratches and burns can frequently be sanded out and refinished.

Repair or replace in Lower Hirst?

Replacing even one length of worktop means templating, cutting, fitting and frequently a new sink and hob connection. A repair is a few hours with everything left in place. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

What you get with us

  • No need to remove anything
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • One visit for most repairs

See our full price list.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
