DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is 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 photos, as it can add time.

Wood
Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, and burns and dents repaired.
Questions from Ornsby Hill
Are you a vetted contractor?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
What does worktop repair cost?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Can a quartz edge be fixed?
Yes. The repair is colour matched and polished to the quartz’s finish.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
When can you do it?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.
Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
- Do not let water sit on joints
- Don’t leave spills to soak in
- Re-oil timber worktops
Keep joints and the sink edge dry, especially on laminate and wood.
Daily use can make burns and chips worse, especially near the sink. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.
