What worktop repair costs

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Durkar. What changes the price is:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Quotes from your pictures

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

About our worktop repair in Durkar

Laminate, quartz, granite, solid surface and wooden worktops can all be repaired, with colour and pattern matched by hand. The worktop stays in place. We are frequently asked to fix a chipped edge and chips in quartz or granite, across laminate, solid surface (such as Corian) and granite & marble.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Signs you need worktop repair in Durkar

Sink and hob cut-outs are weak points, so cracks and chips often start there.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Dents and gouges
  • Chips near the sink
  • Snagging damage in a new kitchen
  • Burns from hot pans

What your quote should include

  • How your room will be protected
  • If travel is included in the price
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • What happens if they find more damage

10 questions to ask before booking

How the visit works

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
  2. Burnt or loose material is cut back.
  3. The area is filled and shaped.
  4. We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
  5. We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Related advice

Different materials, different repairs

Laminate

Laminate is a printed surface over a board. We fill the damage and recreate the pattern by hand.

Solid surface

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

Keeping it looking good

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Clean spills straight away
  • Keep wood oiled
  • Do not let water sit on joints
  • Always use a trivet for hot pans

Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.

Daily use can make burns and chips worse, especially near the sink. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.

Your questions about worktop repair in Durkar

Can you match granite flecks?

Yes, the pattern is built up by hand so it blends in.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Which areas do you work in?

All of Wakefield, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a worktop means removing the old one, templating and fitting a replacement and reconnecting the sink and hob, and it may not match the rest of the kitchen. A repair leaves the worktop in place. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
