Should you replace it?

A new 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. A repair keeps your existing worktop. Prices start from £95. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

When we’d advise against a repair

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath

  • Failed support under the worktop

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

For landlords and businesses

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.

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.

How to care for the repair

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Watch the edges with heavy pans
  • Do not leave spills to soak in
  • Re-oil timber worktops
  • Use a chopping board

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.

How we price worktop repair

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • How many areas need work
  • The material and finish
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many items we do on one visit

Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your photos

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One picture of the entire worktop
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

For a price in Epping Green, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Common problems we fix in Epping Green

Worktops take more punishment than anything else in the kitchen. Hot pans leave burns, knives leave scratches, and edges chip when heavy pans or tins hit them.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • A heat mark or burn
  • A chipped edge
  • Cuts and scratches in the surface
  • A damaged sink edge

10 questions to ask before you book

What happens on the day

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
  2. We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
  3. It’s filled and levelled with the surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal and polish it to the right sheen.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

How to get a price
