What worktop repair costs

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many areas need work
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Doing more than one item at once

Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Quotes from your pictures

You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A picture taken from further back
  • The material, if you know it
  • Details of any past repairs

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire worktop, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

Why repair rather than replace?

Swollen or badly damaged laminate may need replacing. For chips, burns and scratches, a repair is the better value. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Dukinfield. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why us?

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • No extra charge for your area

Different materials, different repairs

Solid surface

Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so scratches and burns can frequently be sanded out and refinished.

Laminate

Laminate is a printed surface bonded to a board. We fill damage and paint in the pattern by hand.

For landlords and businesses

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Looking after it afterwards

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Watch the edges with heavy pans
  • Keep joints and edges dry
  • Never put hot pans down directly
  • Chopping boards prevent scratches

Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, particularly with laminate and timber.

Do not leave damage by the sink, because water gets in and swells the board.

What a repair cannot fix

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • A cracked stone top that’s unsupported
  • Water-swollen laminate
  • A top that moves on its units

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

What we work on

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

Your questions about worktop repair in Dukinfield

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Do you come to Dukinfield?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Dukinfield. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Are there extra charges for Dukinfield?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

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

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

Do I need to empty the worktop?

Only around the repair. You can normally still use the rest of the kitchen.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
