How it works
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We protect the rest of the kitchen.
- We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
- We fill it and level it with the worktop.
- The colour and pattern are built up by hand.
- We seal and polish it to the right sheen.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Let us know about parking or access

FAQs for Windmill Hill
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Can you match the pattern on my worktop?
We match colour, flecks and veining by hand, so the repair blends into the surface.
Can you repair a chipped quartz worktop?
Yes. Chips on edges and around the sink are very common repairs, filled and polished to match.
How quickly can you book me in?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Do I need to clear the kitchen?
Just near the damage. You can typically still use the rest of the kitchen.
DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
For anyone letting property in or around Windmill Hill, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.
When we’d advise against a repair
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Cracks right through stone that has moved
- Laminate swollen by water from underneath
- A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
What we work on
- Solid wood
- Granite & marble
- Quartz
- Laminate
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
Common problems we fix in Windmill Hill
Most worktop damage takes a second: a hot pan set straight down, or a heavy pan catching the edge. Scratches build up more slowly, from knives and grit.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Chips on edges and corners
- Gouges in the surface
- Chips in quartz or granite
- Burns from hot pans
What to look for in a quote
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How to care for the finish
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
How to care for the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
- Use a chopping board
- Oil wooden tops regularly
- Don’t leave spills to soak in
Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe spills right away, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.
Do not leave damage by the sink, because water gets in and swells the board.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- What kind of damage it is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The colour and finish to match
- How many areas need work
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Send photos for a quote
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One picture of the whole worktop
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
