How we price worktop repair
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- Access to the area
- How hard the colour is to match
- What kind of damage it is
- Doing more than one item at once
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.
Getting a price from photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A photo taken from further back
- Where you are, by postcode
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Most clients in Empingham get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

What else we do in Empingham
How to care for the repair
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Watch the edges with heavy pans
- Use a chopping board
- Clean spills straight away
- Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
Leave the repaired area free of hot or heavy items until it has cured. After that, trivets and chopping boards protect it best.
A chip on an edge can grow, and on laminate, water can get into the core. An early repair prevents it.
Should you replace it?
Stone and quartz have to be templated and cut, so replacing one section is a big job. A repair takes a few hours. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Work for landlords and builders
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Repairs by material
Laminate
Laminate is a printed surface over a board. We fill the damage and recreate the pattern.
Wood
Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, and burns and dents repaired.
The process
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
- We cut back any burnt or loose material.
- We fill and shape the damaged area.
- The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
- We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.
Before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Open a window if you can
