Worktop repair in Tile Hurst, done in place
A new worktop rarely matches the old one, especially in an L-shaped or long kitchen. Repairing the damage keeps your kitchen as it is. Common call-outs are for damage around the sink cut-out and gouges in the surface, across solid surface (such as Corian), laminate and granite & marble.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- The colour and finish to match
- What kind of damage it is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Quotes from your photos
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Something in shot to show the size
- A wider photo showing the entire worktop
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: 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.
Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Clean spills immediately
- Keep a trivet by the hob
- Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
- Watch the edges with heavy pans
Let the repair cure for the time we give you before putting anything heavy or hot on it. After that, trivets and chopping boards protect it best.
Daily use can make burns and chips worse particularly around the sink. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Laminate
Laminate is a printed surface over a board. We fill the damage and recreate the pattern.
Quartz
Quartz is crushed stone bound with resin. Edge chips are very common, and we fill and polish them to match the sheen.

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
Tile Hurst questions
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
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.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Can you match the pattern on my worktop?
Yes. We recreate the pattern by hand.
Can you repair a chipped quartz worktop?
Yes. We match the colour and polish the repair.
What do you need from me?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
The process
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- 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.
- We match the colour and pattern by hand.
- The surface is sealed or finished to suit the worktop.
Before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Getting a price
If you are in Tile Hurst and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
