What worktop repair costs

Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Cartmel. The price reflects:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How much damage there is
  • What the surface is made of
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Aftercare tips

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Always use a trivet for hot pans
  • Watch the edges with heavy pans
  • Keep joints and edges dry
  • Re-oil timber worktops

Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe up spills promptly, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.

A burn or chip can get worse with daily use, especially near the sink. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.

What your worktop is made of matters

Granite and stone

Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.

Laminate

Laminate worktops have a printed decorative layer over a board core. We fill the damage and recreate the pattern.

Landlord and trade work in Cartmel

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Cartmel as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Cumbria and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Can I fix it myself?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

How it works

Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes a few hours, depending on the damage in most cases. We leave the room clean.

  1. First we look at the damage and what the worktop is made of.
  2. Next we clean up and prepare the damaged area.
  3. A filler that suits the material goes in, and missing edges are rebuilt.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal or finish the area to match.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Ensure the area is dry
