Questions from Bootle
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can you match the pattern on my worktop?
We match colour, flecks and veining by hand, so the repair blends into the surface.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Can you price it without visiting?
Generally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Can I fix it myself?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
When we would advise against a repair
A repair is not right for every job, including:
- Cracks right through stone that has moved
- Discolouration deep in quartz
- Failed support under the worktop
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Quartz
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Laminate
- Solid wood
- Granite & marble
Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Dry around the sink and joints
- Re-oil timber worktops
- Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
- Do not leave spills to soak in
Let the repair cure for the time we give you before putting anything heavy or hot on it. After that, trivets and chopping boards are your best protection.
Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, because water gets in and swells the board.

How we price worktop repair
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- The material
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many areas need work
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Getting a price from pictures
Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. Try to include:
- A picture taken from further back
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Natural light rather than flash
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
For a price in Bootle, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Repairs by material
Wood
Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, and burns and dents repaired.
