How we price worktop repair
Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Essendon. The price depends on:
- The material and finish
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Unusual colours or finishes
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
How to get a fixed quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- A wider photo showing the whole worktop
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
If you’re in Essendon and want a price, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Essendon
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

What else we do in Essendon
What your worktop is made of matters
Wood
Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, with burns and dents put right.
Quartz
Quartz is hard, but its edges are brittle. Chips are filled with tinted resin and polished.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Keep joints and edges dry
- Chopping boards prevent scratches
- Don’t leave spills to soak in
- Steer clear of strong cleaners
Let the repair cure for the time we give you before putting anything heavy or hot on it. After that, trivets and chopping boards are your best protection.
Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, because water gets in and swells the board.
