How we price worktop repair
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Carno. The price reflects:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How many areas need work
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Quotes from your photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Carno, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Carno questions
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Powys.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
What do you need from me?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Normally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Advice
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple:
- Always use a trivet for hot pans
- Watch the edges with heavy pans
- Keep wood oiled
- Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.
Edge chips can get bigger, and on laminate, water can get into the core. Repairing it early stops that.
Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. 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.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
