Why repair rather than replace?
A new worktop means taking out the damaged top, templating and fitting a replacement and reconnecting the sink and hob, and matching the rest of the kitchen can be hard. A repair keeps your existing worktop. Our worktop repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

What worktop repair costs
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- Doing more than one item at once
- What the surface is made of
- The type of damage
- How hard the colour is to match
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send photos for a quote
You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- A picture taken from further back
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- What it’s made of, if you know
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Different materials, different repairs
Solid surface
Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so marks can frequently be sanded and refinished.
Granite and stone
Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.
When we’d advise against a repair
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- Laminate swollen by water from underneath
- Discolouration deep in quartz
- A worktop that has moved because its support has failed

Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 is not prepared the repair will not last.
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.
