Repair or replace in Elmstead?
Replacing a worktop means removing the old one, cutting and fitting a new one and refitting the sink and hob, and it may not match the rest of the kitchen. Repairing the damage leaves the worktop in place. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

What worktop repair costs
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Elmstead. The price reflects:
- How many items we do on one visit
- How much damage there is
- The material
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Send photos for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Most clients in Elmstead get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Work for landlords and builders
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.
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.
Honest limits
A repair isn’t right for every job, including:
- Laminate that has blown or swollen
- Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
- A cracked stone top that’s unsupported

Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Clean spills right away
- Keep wood oiled
- Don’t let water sit on joints
- Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.
Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, as water can get in and cause swelling.
