What worktop repair costs
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What the surface is made of
- How easy the damage is to reach
A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your photos
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- One picture of the entire worktop
- Any details about the material
You do not 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’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Do not let water sit on joints
- Oil wooden tops regularly
- Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
- Always use a trivet for hot pans
Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.
A chip on an edge can grow, and water can reach the core of laminate. An early repair prevents it.
Botternell: your questions answered
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Do you come to Botternell?
We do. Technicians travel to Botternell from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
How much do I need to move?
Just near the damage. The rest of the kitchen stays usable.
Do you repair quartz?
Yes. The repair is colour-matched and polished to the quartz’s finish.
Can you repair a burn in a worktop?
Normally, yes. The burn is cut back, filled and patterned to match.
Why repair rather than replace?
Stone and quartz have to be templated and cut, so replacing one section is a big job. Repairing it is a few hours’ work. Our worktop repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
When we’d advise against a repair
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Failed support under the worktop
- Laminate that has blown or swollen
- Cracks right through stone that has moved
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we work on in Botternell
- Solid wood
- Quartz
- Laminate
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Granite & marble
What happens on the day
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a few hours from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and how to care for it.
- First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
- Burnt or loose material is cut back.
- We fill and shape the damaged area.
- We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
- It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Clear the area around the damage
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
