What worktop repair costs
Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- Access to the area
- How hard the colour is to match
- How much damage there is
- What kind of damage it is
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.
Send photos for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The material, if you know it
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A wider photo showing the entire worktop
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. 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.
Repairs by material
Granite and stone
Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.
Solid surface
Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so scratches and burns can often be sanded out and refinished.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing even one length of worktop means templating, cutting, fitting and often a new sink and hob connection. A repair is a few hours with everything left in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

The process
You don’t need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. It usually takes a few hours, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We assess 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.
How to prepare
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Never put hot pans down directly
- Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
- Don’t leave spills to soak in
- Re-oil timber worktops
Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe up spills promptly, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.
Don’t leave damage by the sink, because water gets in and swells the board.
FAQs for Aithsetter
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Can you match the pattern on my worktop?
We match colour, flecks and veining by hand, so the repair blends into the surface.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
What does worktop repair cost?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your ZE2 postcode.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We come back with a fixed quote, generally with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Aithsetter
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Aithsetter as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Honest limits
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Cracks right through stone that has moved
- A top that moves on its units
- Laminate that has blown or swollen
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
