What else we do in Workhouse Hill
How we price worktop repair
Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Workhouse Hill. The price depends on:
- The material
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many items we do on one visit
- How much damage there is
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 play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Send pictures for a quote
Two or three clear photos are normally enough. It helps if you send:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Landlord and trade work in Workhouse Hill
If you manage property in Workhouse Hill, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Repairs by material
Laminate
Laminate is a printed surface over a board. Chips and burns are filled and the pattern recreated.
Quartz
Quartz worktops are mostly stone set in resin. We fill and polish chipped edges to match the sheen.

Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Oil wooden tops regularly
- Clean spills right away
- Steer clear of strong cleaners
- Keep joints and edges dry
Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.
Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, as water can get in and cause swelling.
