What worktop repair costs
Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Cores End. The price depends on:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The type of damage
- The material
- Doing more than one item at once
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
How to get a fixed price
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- One picture of the entire worktop
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Something in shot to show the size
- What it’s made of, if you know
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Wood
Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, with burns and dents put right.
Quartz
Quartz worktops are mostly stone set in resin. Edge chips are very common, and we fill and polish them to match the sheen.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Swollen or badly damaged laminate may need replacing. For chips, burns and scratches, repair is usually far better value. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

How to care for the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Never put hot pans down directly
- Clean spills right away
- Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
- Don’t knock pans against the edge
Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe spills immediately, and keep wooden tops oiled.
Edge chips can get bigger, and water can reach the core of laminate. An early repair prevents it.
