How we price worktop repair
Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The type of damage
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Access to the area
A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your photos
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Details of any past repairs
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A wider photo showing the entire worktop
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the worktop, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Our worktop repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Bickerstaffe. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Keep a trivet by the hob
- Wipe up spills quickly

Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe up spills promptly, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.
Do not leave damage by the sink, as water can get in and cause swelling.
