What worktop repair costs

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material and finish
  • How many areas need work
  • Access to the area

A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • A wider photo showing the entire worktop
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Worktop repair in Ailsworth, done in place

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. We regularly repair solid surface (such as Corian), laminate and solid wood, and the jobs we see most are chips near the sink and damage from fitting or building work.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What your worktop is made of matters

Wood

Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, with burns and dents put right.

Granite and stone

Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.

Do you need worktop repair in Ailsworth?

Cut-outs for the sink and hob are the weakest parts, so cracks and chips frequently start there.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • Scratches and knife marks
  • Chips in quartz or granite
  • Scorch marks from pans
  • Chips caused during installation

What to look for in a quote

  • What prep work is covered
  • How the colour is matched
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Who turns up on the day

How to compare quotes

How it works

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. Allow a few hours, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
  2. We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
  3. We fill it and level it with the worktop.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed and polished to match.

How to prepare

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Open a window if you can

Ask for a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the worktop, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Related advice

Keeping it looking good

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Steer clear of strong cleaners
  • Oil wooden tops regularly
  • Never put hot pans down directly
  • Use a chopping board

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.

A burn or chip can get worse with daily use. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.

Work for landlords and builders

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Ailsworth questions

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Do you cover the whole of Peterborough?

We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

Is a burnt worktop repairable?

Frequently, yes. We remove the damaged surface, fill it and recreate the pattern.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

What a repair can’t fix

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Water-swollen laminate
  • Through cracks in stone that is moving
  • Severe heat marks in quartz

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
