Questions from Elton
Can you repair a burn in a worktop?
Typically. A picture lets us check.
How do I get a price for worktop repair in Elton?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Is it worth repairing rather 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.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Do I need to empty the worktop?
Just near the damage. You can typically still use the rest of the kitchen.
Can a quartz edge be fixed?
Yes. We repair quartz chips regularly, filled and polished to match.

For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details.

What worktop repair costs
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Access to the area
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How hard the colour is to match
A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your pictures
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Where you are, by postcode
- A photo taken from further back
- One sharp close-up of the damage
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 you’ll get a fixed figure back.
Should you replace it?
Even a single new length of worktop means templating, cutting and refitting the sink and hob. A repair takes a few hours and leaves everything in place. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

When a repair isn’t the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- Water-swollen laminate
- Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
- Through cracks in stone that is moving
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Granite & marble
- Solid wood
- Quartz
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Laminate
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
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, then guarantee it for a year.
How it works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Allow a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We assess the damage and the worktop material.
- Next we clean up and prepare the damaged area.
- We fill the damage with a suitable filler and build up any lost edge.
- The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
- Finally we seal or finish the area to match.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Ask for a price
Email us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your GL14 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Don’t leave spills to soak in
- Steer clear of strong cleaners
- Take care with heavy pans near edges
- Don’t let water sit on joints
Let the repair cure for the time we give you before putting anything heavy or hot on it. After that, trivets and chopping boards protect it best.
A chip on an edge can grow, and water can reach the core of laminate. Repairing it early stops that.
