What worktop repair costs

Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Cousley Wood. The price comes down to:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Send pictures for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • One picture of the whole worktop
  • Any details about the material
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Your questions about worktop repair in Cousley Wood

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

Is a burnt worktop repairable?

Normally, yes. The burn is cut back, filled and patterned to match.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Can you match granite flecks?

Colour, flecks and veins are recreated by hand, for a repair that blends in.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

When we’d advise against a repair

We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
  • Cracks right through stone that has moved
  • Laminate that has blown or swollen

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Surfaces we repair

  • Solid wood
  • Laminate
  • Solid surface (such as Corian)
  • Quartz
  • Granite & marble

What we’re called out for in Cousley Wood

Worktops take more punishment than anything else in the kitchen. Hot pans leave burns, knives leave scratches, and heavy pans chip the edges.

Most people contact us when they notice one of these:

  • Dents and gouges
  • Damage to a stone worktop
  • Chipped corners
  • Knife marks

Before booking anyone

  • How to care for the finish
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Whether the price covers travel

Our hiring checklist

Looking after it afterwards

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Clean spills immediately
  • Steer clear of strong cleaners
  • Dry around the sink and joints
  • Take care with heavy pans near edges

Let the repair cure for the time we give you before putting anything heavy or hot on it. After that, trivets and chopping boards are your best protection.

Edge chips can get bigger, and on laminate, water can get into the core. An early repair prevents it.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Even a single new length of worktop means templating, cutting and refitting the sink and hob. A repair is a few hours with everything left in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

The process

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours. We leave the room clean.

  1. First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
  2. Burnt or loose material is cut back.
  3. The area is filled and shaped.
  4. The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
  5. We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Clear the area around the damage

Ask for a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire worktop, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.
