- Repairs from £95
- Chips caused during installation
- A chipped quartz edge
What worktop repair costs
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How many areas need work
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How hard the colour is to match
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Worktop repair at your home in Common End
A new worktop rarely matches the old one, particularly where several lengths join. Repairing the damage keeps your kitchen as it is. Our technicians work on solid surface (such as Corian), solid wood and quartz, and common reasons people get in touch are gouges in the surface and a damaged sink edge.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Keep a trivet by the hob
- Clean spills right away

Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe up spills promptly, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.
Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, as water can get in and cause swelling.
