DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

What worktop repair costs

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What the surface is made of
  • What kind of damage it is

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Quotes from your pictures

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Aftercare tips

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

  • Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
  • Do not knock pans against the edge
  • Keep a trivet by the hob
  • Oil wooden tops regularly

Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe spills immediately, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.

Edge chips can get bigger, and water can reach the core of laminate. An early repair prevents it.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Solid surface

Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so marks can frequently be sanded and refinished.

Laminate

Laminate is a printed surface over a board. We fill the damage and recreate the pattern.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

  • A cracked stone top that’s unsupported
  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

What we work on

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

  1. The area around the damage is protected.
  2. We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
  3. We fill it and level it with the worktop.
  4. The colour and pattern are built up by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed and polished to match.
