Repairs by material
Laminate
A laminate worktop is a thin decorative layer on a board. Damage is filled and the pattern painted in by hand.
Granite and stone
Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.
How we price worktop repair
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- How many areas need work
- The material
- What kind of damage it is
- Unusual colours or finishes
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Brown Lees. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
How to get a fixed quote
Phone pictures are fine. Just make sure we can see:
- A wider photo showing the entire worktop
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
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 send back a fixed quote and some dates.
FAQs for Brown Lees
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire worktop and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
How much do I need to move?
Just clear the area around the damage. The rest is covered and protected.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

We do. Technicians travel to Brown Lees from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Are there extra charges for Brown Lees?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Are you accredited?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Advice
DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
