What worktop repair costs
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- What kind of damage it is
- What the surface is made of
- How much damage there is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed quote
You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
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.
Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Do not let water sit on joints
- Steer clear of strong cleaners
- Always use a trivet for hot pans
- Take care with heavy pans near edges
Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.
A chip on an edge can grow, and water can reach the core of laminate. Repairing it early stops that.

Advice
Common problems we fix in Dufton
Water around the sink can get into laminate and wood joints, and that can make them swell.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Snagging damage in a new kitchen
- A chipped quartz edge
- Dents and gouges
- Chips on edges and corners
Questions to ask before you book
- How changes to the job are handled

- Whether they match the colour on site
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
What your worktop is made of matters
Wood
Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, and burns and dents repaired.
Solid surface
Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so scratches and burns can often be sanded out and refinished.
DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new worktop means taking out the damaged top, templating and fitting a replacement and refitting the sink and hob, and matching the rest of the kitchen can be hard. A repair leaves the worktop in place. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
