10 questions to ask before you book

Repair or replace: which is better?

If the worktop is swollen by water or badly damaged along its length, replacement may be the answer. For chips, burns and scratches, a repair is the better value. Prices start from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Why book with us

  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • We leave the room as we found it

See our full price list.

How to care for the repair

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Keep wood oiled
  • Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
  • Keep joints and edges dry
  • Take care with heavy pans near edges

Leave the repaired area free of hot or heavy items until it has cured. After that, trivets and chopping boards protect it best.

Don’t leave damage by the sink, because water gets in and swells the board.

For landlords and businesses

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

What we do, step by step

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.

  1. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
  2. The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
  3. It’s filled and levelled with the surface.
  4. The colour and pattern are built up by hand.
  5. We seal and polish it to the right sheen.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Advice

What worktop repair costs

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • The type of damage
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Send pictures for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

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, then guarantee it for a year.
