Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material and finish
- How many areas need work
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Quotes from your photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any details about the material
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- One picture of the entire worktop
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole worktop, we can price the job.
How to look after the repair
It’s all simple stuff:
- Always use a trivet for hot pans
- Do not knock pans against the edge
- Oil wooden tops regularly
- Wipe up spills quickly
Keep joints and the sink edge dry, particularly with laminate and timber.
Daily use can make burns and chips worse. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.

Related advice
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
