What worktop repair costs

Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Send pictures for a quote

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

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any details about the material
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Where you are, by postcode

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a worktop means removing the old one, templating and fitting a replacement and reconnecting 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. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Why book with us

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Colour-matched on site
  • No extra charge for your area
  • One visit for most repairs

Read our prices page.

Looking after it afterwards

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

  • Use a chopping board
  • Clean spills right away
  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
  • Do not knock pans against the edge

Keep joints and the sink edge dry, particularly with laminate and timber.

Daily use can make burns and chips worse, especially near the sink. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.

What we do, step by step

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which typically takes a few hours. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
  2. We cut back any burnt or loose material.
  3. We fill and shape the damaged area.
  4. We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
  5. We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Ask for a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.

Related advice

Repairs by material

Quartz

Quartz worktops are mostly stone set in resin. Edge chips are very common, and we fill and polish them to match the sheen.

Wood

Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, with burns and dents put right.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

For anyone letting property in or around Firrhill, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
  • Failed support under the worktop
  • Laminate that has blown or swollen

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
