How we price worktop repair
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The colour and finish to match
Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Quotes from your photos
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Details of any past repairs
- Natural light rather than flash
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One sharp close-up of the damage
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.
How to look after the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Keep joints and edges dry
- Do not leave spills to soak in
- Always use a trivet for hot pans
- Take care with heavy pans near edges
Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, particularly with laminate and timber.
Don’t leave damage by the sink, because water gets in and swells the board.
Repair or replace in Chapel Stile?
Replacing a worktop means taking out the damaged top, cutting and fitting a new one and refitting the sink and hob, and it may not match the rest of the kitchen. Repairing the damage leaves the worktop in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

The process
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours, depending on the damage. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- We start by checking the damage and the worktop material.
- We clean the area and prepare the edges of the damage.
- We fill with a filler suited to the material and rebuild any missing edge.
- We match the colour and pattern by hand.
- We seal or finish the surface to suit the worktop.
How to prepare
- Ensure the area is dry
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
Getting a price
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Related advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
