What worktop repair costs

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • What the surface is made of
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many areas need work

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Getting a price from photos

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • One picture of the entire worktop
  • Any details about the material
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.

When a repair is not the answer

A repair isn’t right for every job, including:

  • Failed support under the worktop
  • Cracks right through stone that has moved
  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we repair

  • Granite & marble
  • Solid wood
  • Solid surface (such as Corian)
  • Quartz
  • Laminate

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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 then the old filler has to be removed first.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Aftercare tips

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Don’t knock pans against the edge
  • Dry around the sink and joints
  • Oil wooden tops regularly
  • Steer clear of strong cleaners

Keep joints and the sink edge dry, particularly with laminate and timber.

A chip on an edge can grow, and water can reach the core of laminate. An early repair prevents it.

Repairs by material

Quartz

Quartz is crushed stone bound with resin. We fill and polish chipped edges to match the sheen.

Wood

Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, and burns and dents repaired.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new worktop means taking out the damaged top, cutting and fitting a new one and reconnecting the sink and hob, and matching the rest of the kitchen can be hard. Repairing the damage keeps your existing worktop. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Chorlton-cum-Hardy. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why us?

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

  1. First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
  2. We cut back any burnt or loose material.
  3. The area is filled and shaped.
  4. We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
  5. It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
