How we price worktop repair
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- How many areas need work
- What kind of damage it is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Send pictures for a quote
Phone photos are fine. Make sure they show:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A photo taken from further back
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The material, if you know it
To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Repair or replace in Chazey Heath?
If the worktop is swollen by water or badly damaged along its length, replacement may be the answer. For chips, burns and scratches, a repair is the better value. Prices start from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Repairs by material
Solid surface
Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so marks can frequently be sanded and refinished.
Wood
Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, and burns and dents repaired.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Your questions about worktop repair in Chazey Heath
What areas do you cover?
All of Reading, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.
Do I need to clear the kitchen?
Only around the repair. You can generally still use the rest of the kitchen.
What happens after I send pictures?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
How do I get a price for worktop repair in Chazey Heath?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.
The process
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a few hours, depending on the damage in most cases. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.
- First we look at the damage and what the worktop is made of.
- We clean the area and prepare the edges of the damage.
- We fill the damage with a suitable filler and build up any lost edge.
- We match the colour and pattern by hand.
- We seal or finish the surface to suit the worktop.
Preparing for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Clear the area around the damage
How to get a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
