DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
Signs you need worktop repair in Berner's Cross
Kitchen worktops have a hard life. Hot pans scorch, knives cut, and heavy pans chip the edges.
Look out for any of the following:
- Scratches and knife marks
- Snagging damage in a new kitchen
- A heat mark or burn

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What the surface is made of
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your pictures
Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- A photo taken from further back
- Details of any past repairs
- The material, if you know it
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your EX19 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Don’t cut directly on the worktop
- Wipe up spills quickly
- Steer clear of strong cleaners
- Keep joints and edges dry
Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe up spills promptly, and keep wooden tops oiled.
A chip on an edge can grow, and water can reach the core of laminate. An early repair prevents it.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a worktop means taking out the damaged top, cutting and fitting a new one and refitting the sink and hob, and it may not match the rest of the kitchen. Repairing the damage keeps your existing worktop. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
