What worktop repair costs
Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Chopwell. The price reflects:
- Doing more than one item at once
- What the surface is made of
- How much damage there is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Compared with replacing, 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.

Different materials, different repairs
Solid surface
Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so scratches and burns can frequently be sanded out and refinished.
Wood
Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, with burns and dents put right.
When to call us in Chopwell
Around the sink, water gets into joints on laminate and wood, which can cause swelling.
Contact us if you’ve noticed:
- Gouges in the surface
- Chips on edges and corners
- Chips in quartz or granite
- A heat mark or burn
What your quote should include
- What preparation is included
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How soon you can use it again
- If travel is included in the price
When a repair is not the answer
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
- A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
- Water-swollen laminate
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Materials we work on in Chopwell
- Quartz
- Solid wood
- Granite & marble
- Laminate
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
How to care for the repair
To keep it looking its best:
- Do not leave spills to soak in
- Don’t let water sit on joints
- Steer clear of strong cleaners
- Watch the edges with heavy pans
Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe spills right away, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.
A chip on an edge can grow, and on laminate, water can get into the core. An early repair prevents it.
Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Even a single new length of worktop means templating, cutting and refitting the sink and hob. A repair is a few hours with everything left in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Your questions about worktop repair in Chopwell
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.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
How much do I need to move?
Just near the damage. The rest of the kitchen stays usable.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.
Can a quartz edge be fixed?
Yes. We repair quartz chips regularly, filled and polished to match.
Can you match the pattern on my worktop?
Yes, the pattern is built up by hand so it blends in.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

- First we look at the damage and what the worktop is made of.
- Next we clean up and prepare the damaged area.
- A filler that suits the material goes in, and missing edges are rebuilt.
- We match the colour and pattern by hand.
- The surface is sealed or finished to suit the worktop.
