Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a worktop means removing the old one, cutting and fitting a new one and refitting the sink and hob, and it may not match the rest of the kitchen. A repair keeps your existing worktop. Our worktop repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Bobbing. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What else we do in Bobbing
Bobbing: your questions answered
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Do you repair quartz?
Yes. The repair is colour matched and polished to the quartz’s finish.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Will the repair match a patterned worktop?
Colour, flecks and veins are recreated by hand, so the repair blends into the surface.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Are you accredited?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
What happens if you find more damage?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
What your worktop is made of matters
Solid surface
Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so scratches and burns can frequently be sanded out and refinished.
Wood
Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, and burns and dents repaired.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple:
- Wipe up spills quickly
- Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
- Never put hot pans down directly
- Chopping boards prevent scratches
Leave the repaired area free of hot or heavy items until it has cured. After that, trivets and chopping boards protect it best.
A chip on an edge can grow, and on laminate, water can get into the core. Repairing it early stops that.
What happens on the day
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. Allow a morning or an afternoon, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
- We cut back any burnt or loose material.
- We fill and shape the damaged area.
- We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
- We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Getting a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. 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.

Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
