What worktop repair costs

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How much damage there is
  • Access to the area
  • The type of damage

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed price

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A wider photo showing the whole worktop

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

What we cannot put right

We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Water-swollen laminate
  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
  • Cracks right through stone that has moved

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we repair

  • Quartz
  • Solid wood
  • Granite & marble
  • Laminate
  • Solid surface (such as Corian)

Landlords, agents and businesses in Alderton

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

For anyone letting property in or around Alderton, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Different materials, different repairs

Quartz

Quartz is crushed stone bound with resin. We fill and polish chipped edges to match the sheen.

Laminate

A laminate worktop is a thin decorative layer on a board. We fill damage and paint in the pattern by hand.

Questions from Alderton

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Alderton.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first.

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

What we’re called out for in Alderton

Worktops take more punishment than anything else in the kitchen. Hot pans scorch, knives cut, and edges chip when heavy pans or tins hit them.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Snagging damage in a new kitchen
  • A heat mark or burn
  • Scratches and knife marks
  • Damage to a stone worktop

Our hiring checklist

Aftercare tips

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Wipe up spills quickly
  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
  • Never put hot pans down directly
  • Chopping boards prevent scratches

Leave the repaired area free of hot or heavy items until it has cured. After that, trivets and chopping boards are your best protection.

A burn or chip can get worse with daily use particularly around the sink. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Even a single new length of worktop means templating, cutting and refitting the sink and hob. A repair is a few hours with everything left in place. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

What you get with us

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Work done at your home or business

What happens on the day

We begin by going over the job with you. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. Allow a few hours, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
  2. We cut back any burnt or loose material.
  3. We fill and shape the damaged area.
  4. We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
  5. We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.

How to prepare

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
