What we do, step by step
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- We start by checking the damage and the worktop material.
- We clean the area and prepare the edges of the damage.
- A filler that suits the material goes in, and missing edges are rebuilt.
- The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
- The surface is sealed or finished to suit the worktop.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Clear the area around the damage

Landlords, agents and businesses in Carleton
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll arrange it.
How to care for the repair
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Never put hot pans down directly
- Don’t leave spills to soak in
- Re-oil timber worktops
- Take care with heavy pans near edges
Let the repair cure for the time we give you before putting anything heavy or hot on it. After that, trivets and chopping boards protect it best.
Daily use can make burns and chips worse. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.
Should you replace it?
A new worktop means removing the old one, templating and fitting a replacement and refitting the sink and hob, and matching the rest of the kitchen can be hard. A repair leaves the worktop in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

What worktop repair costs
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What the surface is made of
- Access to the area
- How many areas need work
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Carleton. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- Any details about the material

- A clear, close picture of the problem area
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
