The process
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
- Burnt or loose material is cut back.
- The area is filled and shaped.
- We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
- We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

Questions from New Hinksey
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Typically, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Can a scorch mark be fixed?
Generally. Send us a picture and we’ll tell you.
How much do I need to move?
Just clear the area around the damage. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Different materials, different repairs
Quartz
Quartz is hard, but its edges are brittle. Chips are filled with tinted resin and polished.
Solid surface
Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so scratches and burns can frequently be sanded out and refinished.

- Through cracks in stone that is moving
- Discolouration deep in quartz
- A top that moves on its units
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for New Hinksey. What changes the price is:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The colour and finish to match
- Access to the area
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for New Hinksey. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- One picture of the whole worktop
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Don’t let water sit on joints
- Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
- Oil wooden tops regularly
- Do not cut directly on the worktop
Leave the repaired area free of hot or heavy items until it has cured. 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.
Repair or replace: which is better?
If the worktop is swollen by water or badly damaged along its length, replacement may be the answer. For chips, burns and scratches, a repair is the better value. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
