How we price worktop repair

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Doing more than one item at once

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

How to get a fixed quote

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A wider photo showing the entire worktop
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Repairing versus replacing in Donhead St Mary

Even a single new length of worktop means templating, cutting and refitting the sink and hob. A repair takes a few hours and leaves everything in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

  4. The colour and pattern are built up by hand.
  5. We seal and polish it to the right sheen.

What a repair can’t fix

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Water-swollen laminate
  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
  • A top that moves on its units

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

Repairs by material

Laminate

Laminate is a printed surface bonded to a board. Damage is filled and the pattern painted in by hand.

Granite and stone

Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.

Keeping it looking good

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Never put hot pans down directly
  • Chopping boards prevent scratches
  • Clean spills right away
  • Don’t let water sit on joints

Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe up spills promptly, and keep wooden tops oiled.

Daily use can make burns and chips worse, especially near the sink. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.
