For landlords and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.
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. Expect it to take a few hours. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.
- We start by checking the damage and the worktop material.
- The area is cleaned and the edges of the damage prepared.
- We fill with a filler suited to the material and rebuild any missing edge.
- The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
- The surface is sealed or finished to suit the worktop.
Preparing for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Different materials, different repairs
Granite and stone
Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.
Quartz
Quartz is hard, but its edges are brittle. We fill chips with a tinted resin and polish them to the worktop’s finish.
What a repair cannot fix
Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:
- Laminate that has blown or swollen
- Cracks right through stone that has moved
- A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Laminate
- Quartz
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Solid wood
- Granite & marble
Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Clean spills straight away
- Re-oil timber worktops
- Watch the edges with heavy pans
- Keep a trivet by the hob
Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe up spills promptly, and keep wooden tops oiled.
Do not leave damage by the sink, as water can get in and cause swelling.
What affects the price in Stichill
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- How much damage there is
- Access to the area
- What kind of damage it is
- How many items we do on one visit
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed price
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A picture taken from further back
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
