Questions from Small Hythe
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Do I need to empty the worktop?
Just clear the area around the damage. The rest is covered and protected.
When can you do it?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Never put hot pans down directly
- Don’t knock pans against the edge
- Use a chopping board
- Clean spills straight away
Leave the repaired area free of hot or heavy items until it has cured. After that, trivets and chopping boards are your best protection.
Daily use can make burns and chips worse. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.
Repairs by material
Granite and stone
Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around 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 often be sanded out and refinished.
How we price worktop repair
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- How many areas need work
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The type of damage
- What the surface is made of
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
Send photos for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- What it’s made of, if you know
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the worktop, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
How the visit works
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job typically takes a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.
- We protect the rest of the kitchen.
- The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
- It’s filled and levelled with the surface.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- The repair is sealed and polished to match.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Let us know about parking or access
Getting a price
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

What we are called out for in Small Hythe
The worst damage often happens in a moment: a hot pan put down without a trivet, or a heavy pan knocked against the edge. Scratches build up gradually from knives and grit.
People generally call us when they notice something like this:
- A chipped quartz edge
- Chips caused during installation
- Scratches and knife marks
- A heat mark or burn
What your quote should include
- How long it needs to cure
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Who will actually do the work
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
Why repair rather than replace?
Stone and quartz tops are templated and cut to fit, so replacing a section takes time and money. Repairing it is a few hours’ work. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
