Why repair rather than replace?
A new worktop means removing the old one, templating and fitting a replacement and refitting the sink and hob, and matching the rest of the kitchen can be hard. A repair leaves the worktop in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Different materials, different repairs

Laminate worktops have a printed decorative layer over a board core. Chips and burns are filled and the pattern recreated by hand.

How the visit works
You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
- Burnt or loose material is cut back.
- We fill and shape the damaged area.
- The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
- We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
How to get a price
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Related advice
Signs you need worktop repair in Barbican Estate
Kitchen worktops have a hard life. Hot pans leave burns, knives cut, and heavy pans chip the edges.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Damage around the sink cut-out
- Gouges in the surface
- Scratches and knife marks
- Chips in quartz or granite
Before booking anyone
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Who will actually do the work
- How to care for the finish
- Whether they match the colour on site
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Use a chopping board
- Never put hot pans down directly
- Wipe up spills quickly
- Keep joints and edges dry
Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.
A chip on an edge can grow, and on laminate, water can get into the core. Repairing it early stops that.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Doing more than one item at once
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
How to get a fixed quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- A wider photo showing the entire worktop
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any details about the material
- Where you are, by postcode
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire worktop, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
