Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • How much damage there is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Doing more than one item at once

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

How to get a fixed price

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

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A picture taken from further back
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Where you are, by postcode

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

How to care for the repair

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

  • Watch the edges with heavy pans
  • Keep joints and edges dry
  • Never put hot pans down directly
  • Re-oil timber worktops

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

A chip on an edge can grow, and on laminate, water can get into the core. Repairing it early stops that.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

What a repair can’t fix

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We cannot fix:

  • Cracks right through stone that has moved
  • Discolouration deep in quartz
  • Laminate that has blown or swollen

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

What happens on the day

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. It typically takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. We assess the damage and the worktop material.
  2. We clean the area and prepare the edges of the damage.
  3. We fill with a filler suited to the material and rebuild any missing edge.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal or finish the area to match.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

How to get a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the worktop, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Advice

Why repair rather than replace?

A new 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. Repairing the damage leaves the worktop in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
