Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How easy the damage is to reach
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your photos
Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. It helps if you send:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A picture taken from further back
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
If you are in Broomfield and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
How we handle worktop repair in Broomfield
Each type of worktop needs a different approach: laminate is filled and patterned, quartz and stone are filled and polished, and wood is sanded and refinished. The goal is always a repair that blends in. We work on quartz, solid surface (such as Corian) and granite & marble, and common reasons people get in touch are chips on edges and corners and snagging damage in a new kitchen.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

What else we do in Broomfield
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Solid surface
Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so scratches and burns can often be sanded out and refinished.
Laminate
Laminate is a printed surface bonded to a board. We fill damage and paint in the pattern by hand.

What a repair can’t fix
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Water-swollen laminate
- A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
- Cracks right through stone that has moved
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Broomfield
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
DIY kit or professional repair?
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, and the work is guaranteed.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
Broomfield: your questions answered
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Can you repair a burn in a worktop?
Usually. Send us a photo and we’ll tell you.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
What happens next?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
What happens on the day
We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- We assess the damage and the worktop material.
- The area is cleaned and the edges of the damage prepared.
- We fill with a filler suited to the material and rebuild any missing edge.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- Finally we seal or finish the area to match.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire worktop, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Repair or replace: which is better?
A new worktop means taking out the damaged top, templating and fitting a replacement and refitting the sink and hob, and it may not match the rest of the kitchen. Repairing the damage keeps your existing worktop. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Broomfield. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Use a chopping board
- Dry around the sink and joints
- Clean spills straight away
- Oil wooden tops regularly
Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, especially on laminate and wood.
Do not leave damage by the sink, because water gets in and swells the board.
