What worktop repair costs
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Quotes from your pictures
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- One picture of the entire worktop
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Where you are, by postcode
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
What we do, step by step
On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job typically takes a few hours, depending on the damage. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- We start by checking the damage and the worktop material.
- Next we clean up and prepare the damaged area.
- We fill with a filler suited to the material and rebuild any missing edge.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- The surface is sealed or finished to suit the worktop.
How to prepare
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Let us know about parking or access
- Make sure the area is dry
Ask for a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the worktop, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Advice
DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
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, and the work is guaranteed.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a worktop means removing the old one, templating and fitting a replacement and refitting the sink and hob, and matching the rest of the kitchen can be hard. Repairing the damage keeps your existing worktop. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
Why book with us
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- Usually one visit, start to finish
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Common questions in Folkestone
Do I need to empty the worktop?
Only the area we are working on. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
Can a scorch mark be fixed?
Often, yes. We remove the damaged surface, fill it and recreate the pattern.
How do I get a price for worktop repair in Folkestone?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
When to call us in Folkestone
Most chips are on edges and corners, frequently when something heavy catches the edge.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- A dent from a dropped pan
- Damage to a stone worktop
- Damage around the sink cut-out
- Damage from fitting or building work
What to look for in a quote
- When it can be used again
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- If travel is included in the price
- How your room will be protected
When a repair isn’t the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Cracks right through stone that has moved
- Laminate that has blown or swollen
- Failed support under the worktop
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
What we work on
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Granite & marble
- Solid wood
- Quartz
- Laminate
Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep a trivet by the hob
- Do not let water sit on joints
- Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
- Clean spills immediately
Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, particularly with laminate and timber.
Don’t leave damage by the sink, because water gets in and swells the board.
