What worktop repair costs

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Send pictures for a quote

Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The material, if you know it

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Your questions about worktop repair in Crabtree

Can you repair a burn in a worktop?

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

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Is my repair covered?

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

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

How much does worktop repair cost in Crabtree?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Crabtree.

How to care for the repair

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
  • Re-oil timber worktops
  • Don’t let water sit on joints
  • Wipe up spills quickly

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.

A burn or chip can get worse with daily use. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.

What a repair can’t fix

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Water-swollen laminate
  • Through cracks in stone that is moving
  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we repair

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

What happens on the day

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours, depending on the damage. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. The area around the damage is protected.
  2. The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
  3. It’s filled and levelled with the surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal and polish it to the right sheen.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • Damage to a stone worktop
  • A heat mark or burn
  • Cuts and scratches in the surface
  • Chips on edges and corners

Our hiring checklist

For landlords and businesses

For anyone letting property in or around Crabtree, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Crabtree use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
