Repair or replace: which is better?
A new 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. Repairing the damage leaves the worktop in place. Our worktop repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

What a repair cannot fix
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Failed support under the worktop
- Severe heat marks in quartz
- Through cracks in stone that is moving
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

DIY kit or professional repair?
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, a professional repair is worth it.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

How we price worktop repair
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
Getting a price from photos
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- One picture of the whole worktop
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
Your questions about worktop repair in Church Stretton
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Do you work in Church Stretton?
We do. Technicians travel to Church Stretton from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Will the repair match a patterned worktop?
Colour, flecks and veins are recreated by hand, for a repair that blends in.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, Church Stretton included. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
