How we price worktop repair
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- The type of damage
- The material and finish
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many items we do on one visit
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed price
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- One picture of the whole worktop
- The material, if you know it
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Something in shot to show the size
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Common problems we fix in Caiystane
Water around the sink can get into laminate and wood joints, and that can make them swell.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Scratches and knife marks
- Chips caused during installation
- Chipped corners
- Scorch marks from pans
What to look for in a quote
- What aftercare is recommended
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What protection goes down before work starts
Repair or replace in Caiystane?
A new worktop means taking out the damaged top, templating and fitting a replacement and refitting the sink and hob, and matching the rest of the kitchen can be hard. A repair keeps your existing worktop. Prices start from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Different materials, different repairs
Granite and stone
Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.
Quartz
Quartz worktops are mostly stone set in resin. We fill and polish chipped edges to match the sheen.
Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Do not leave spills to soak in
- Steer clear of strong cleaners
- Chopping boards prevent scratches
- Oil wooden tops regularly
Leave the repaired area free of hot or heavy items until it has cured. After that, trivets and chopping boards protect it best.
Do not leave damage by the sink, as water can get in and cause swelling.
