About our worktop repair in St Stephens
Worktops are expensive to replace and hard to match, especially in an L-shaped or long kitchen. Repairing the damage keeps your kitchen as it is. Common call-outs are for a dent from a dropped pan and chips on edges and corners, in granite & marble, quartz and solid wood.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

Repair or replace in St Stephens?
Replacing even one length of worktop means templating, cutting, fitting and often a new sink and hob connection. A repair is a few hours with everything left in place. Our worktop repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Do I need to empty the worktop?
Only around the repair. The rest of the kitchen stays usable.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Hertfordshire.
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
What do you need from me?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

What we’re called out for in St Stephens
Sink and hob cut-outs are weak points, and that is where cracks frequently begin.
Look out for these signs:
- Scratches and knife marks
- Chips on edges and corners
- Chips near the sink
- Snagging damage in a new kitchen
Before booking anyone
- Whether the price covers travel
- Who turns up on the day
- What prep work is covered
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
How to care for the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Always use a trivet for hot pans
- Keep wood oiled
- Do not leave spills to soak in
- Don’t let water sit on joints
Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.
A burn or chip can get worse with daily use particularly around the sink. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.
What happens on the day
You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It usually takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
- Burnt or loose material is cut back.
- The area is filled and shaped.
- The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
- It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Open a window if you can
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

Advice
When we would advise against a repair
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- Water-swollen laminate
- Cracks right through stone that has moved
- Severe heat marks in quartz
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Granite & marble
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Laminate
- Solid wood
- Quartz
For landlords and businesses
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
