What we do, step by step
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, depending on the damage, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First we look at the damage and what the worktop is made of.
- The area is cleaned and the edges of the damage prepared.
- A filler that suits the material goes in, and missing edges are rebuilt.
- The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
- The surface is sealed or finished to suit the worktop.
Before we arrive
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Honest limits
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Discolouration deep in quartz
- A top that moves on its units
- Through cracks in stone that is moving

What your worktop is made of matters
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 marks can frequently be sanded and refinished.

What affects the price in North Hertfordshire
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material and finish
- The size and number of damaged areas
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.
How to get a fixed price

- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Something in shot to show the size
You don’t 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 come back to you with a fixed figure.
Landlords, agents and businesses in North Hertfordshire
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:
