What worktop repair costs
Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What the surface is made of
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How easy the damage is to reach
We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Send photos for a quote
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any details about the material
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the worktop, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Worktop repair in Bootle without replacing anything
Worktops are expensive to replace and hard to match, particularly where several lengths join. A repair leaves the kitchen untouched. We’re often asked to fix knife marks and chipped corners, on laminate, granite & marble and solid surface (such as Corian).
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Wood
Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, and burns and dents repaired.
Laminate
A laminate worktop is a thin decorative layer on a board. Damage is filled and the pattern painted in by hand.

Work for landlords and builders
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
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. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

The process
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- First we look at the damage and what the worktop is made of.
- Next we clean up and prepare the damaged area.
- We fill the damage with a suitable filler and build up any lost edge.
- We match the colour and pattern by hand.
- The surface is sealed or finished to suit the worktop.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Ask for a price
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Keep a trivet by the hob
- Steer clear of strong cleaners
- Keep wood oiled
- Don’t cut directly on the worktop
Keep joints and the sink edge dry, particularly with laminate and timber.
Daily use can make burns and chips worse particularly around the sink. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.
Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
When to call us in Bootle
Around the sink, water gets into joints on laminate and wood, and that can make them swell.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Damage to a stone worktop
- Damage from fitting or building work
- A dent from a dropped pan
- Scratches and knife marks
