Questions from Birch Vale
What does worktop repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Do I need to clear the kitchen?

DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
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.
What we do, step by step
Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes a few hours for most jobs. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.
- First we look at the damage and what the worktop is made of.
- The area is cleaned and the edges of the damage prepared.
- We fill the damage with a suitable filler and build up any lost edge.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- Finally we seal or finish the area to match.
How to prepare
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Open a window if you can
How to get a price
Most customers in Birch Vale get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

What worktop repair costs
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The colour and finish to match
- Access to the area
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your photos
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- The material, if you know it
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A wider photo showing the whole worktop
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Keep a trivet by the hob
- Watch the edges with heavy pans
- Wipe up spills quickly
- Dry around the sink and joints
Let the repair cure for the time we give you before putting anything heavy or hot on it. After that, trivets and chopping boards protect it best.
A burn or chip can get worse with daily use, especially near the sink. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.
