Repairs by material
Wood
Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, and burns and dents repaired.
Solid surface
Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so marks can frequently be sanded and refinished.
When a repair is not the answer
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Through cracks in stone that is moving
- Laminate that has blown or swollen
- Failed support under the worktop
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Questions from Bodiniel
How do I book?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Will the repair match a patterned worktop?
Yes, the pattern is built up by hand so it blends in.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a worktop means removing the old one, templating and fitting a replacement and reconnecting the sink and hob, and it may not match the rest of the kitchen. A repair leaves the worktop in place. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

How to look after the repair
To keep it looking its best:
- Watch the edges with heavy pans
- Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
- Re-oil timber worktops
- Wipe up spills quickly
Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe up spills promptly, and keep wooden tops oiled.
Daily use can make burns and chips worse. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.

Advice
How we price worktop repair
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Unusual colours or finishes
Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed price
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A wider photo showing the whole worktop
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
