What worktop repair costs
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- What the surface is made of
- What kind of damage it is
- How much damage there is
- Doing more than one item at once
Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The material, if you know it
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole worktop, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Honest limits
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Laminate that has blown or swollen
- Cracks right through stone that has moved
- A top that moves on its units
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we repair
- Granite & marble
- Laminate
- Solid surface (such as Corian)

What happens on the day
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon, including clearing up.
- First we look at the damage and what the worktop is made of.
- The area is cleaned and the edges of the damage prepared.
- A filler that suits the material goes in, and missing edges are rebuilt.
- We match the colour and pattern by hand.
- We seal or finish the surface to suit the worktop.
How to prepare
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Work for landlords and builders
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.

Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Dry around the sink and joints
- Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
- Oil wooden tops regularly
- Do not cut directly on the worktop
Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe spills right away, and keep wooden tops oiled.
Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, as water can get in and cause swelling.
