How we price worktop repair
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material and finish
- Unusual colours or finishes
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.
Getting a price from photos
You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- A wider photo showing the whole worktop
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The material, if you know it
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire worktop, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
When we would advise against a repair
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Laminate that has blown or swollen
- Through cracks in stone that is moving
- A top that moves on its units
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.
Laminate
Laminate is a printed surface bonded to a board. We fill damage and paint in the pattern by hand.
Ellacombe questions
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Do you cover Ellacombe?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Ellacombe from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
What do you need from me?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
What does worktop repair cost?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple:
- Do not leave spills to soak in
- Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
- Keep joints and edges dry
- Don’t knock pans against the edge
Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe spills right away, and keep wooden tops oiled.
A burn or chip can get worse with daily use, especially near the sink. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.
How it works
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon, tidy-up included.
- We assess the damage and the worktop material.
- The area is cleaned and the edges of the damage prepared.
- We fill with a filler suited to the material and rebuild any missing edge.
- We match the colour and pattern by hand.
- The surface is sealed or finished to suit the worktop.
How to prepare
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Advice
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
