What affects the price in Cradley
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How hard the colour is to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
Send photos for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- One picture of the entire worktop
- The material, if you know it
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
For a price in Cradley, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Swollen or badly damaged laminate may need replacing. For chips, burns and scratches, a repair is the better value. Our worktop repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Keep joints and edges dry
- Watch the edges with heavy pans
- Chopping boards prevent scratches
- Steer clear of strong cleaners
Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.
A chip on an edge can grow, and on laminate, water can get into the core. Repairing it early stops that.
