Should you replace it?
Replacing a worktop means taking out the damaged top, templating and fitting a replacement and reconnecting the sink and hob, and it may not match the rest of the kitchen. A repair keeps your existing worktop. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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.
What we’re called out for in Checkendon
Cut-outs for the sink and hob are the weakest parts, and that is where cracks frequently begin.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Knife marks
- Gouges in the surface
- A heat mark or burn
- A chipped quartz edge

How we price worktop repair
Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Checkendon. The price comes down to:
- What kind of damage it is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How much damage there is
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed price
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Details of any past repairs
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One picture of the whole worktop
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the worktop, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep wood oiled
- Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
- Don’t knock pans against the edge
- Never put hot pans down directly
Leave the repaired area free of hot or heavy items until it has cured. After that, trivets and chopping boards protect it best.
Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, as water can get in and cause swelling.
Common questions in Checkendon
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
How quickly can you book me in?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can you repair a burn in a worktop?
Often, yes. The burn is cut back, filled and patterned to match.
Do you come to Checkendon?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Checkendon from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Can you match the pattern on my worktop?
We match colour, flecks and veining by hand, so the repair blends into the surface.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We come back with a fixed price, normally with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
