Repairing versus replacing in Dickens Heath
A new worktop means taking out the damaged top, templating and fitting a replacement and reconnecting the sink and hob, and it may not match the rest of the kitchen. Repairing the damage keeps your existing worktop. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Dickens Heath. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How we price worktop repair
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- What the surface is made of
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What kind of damage it is
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Send photos for a quote
You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The material, if you know it
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One picture of the entire worktop
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.
Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Watch the edges with heavy pans
- Steer clear of strong cleaners
- Do not leave spills to soak in
- Keep wood oiled
Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.
A burn or chip can get worse with daily use, especially near the sink. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.
What your worktop is made of matters
Wood
Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, with burns and dents put right.
Granite and stone
Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.

Questions from Dickens Heath
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Is a burnt worktop repairable?
Normally. Send us a picture and we’ll tell you.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Will the price change on the day?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

What else we do in Dickens Heath
DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
The process
Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
- We cut back any burnt or loose material.
- We fill and shape the damaged area.
- We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
- It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Open a window if you can
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
Getting a price
To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
