How we price worktop repair
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- The type of damage
- What the surface is made of
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Doing more than one item at once
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A wider photo showing the entire worktop
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Clean spills right away
- Chopping boards prevent scratches
- Always use a trivet for hot pans
- Oil wooden tops regularly
Leave the repaired area free of hot or heavy items until it has cured. After that, trivets and chopping boards are your best protection.
A burn or chip can get worse with daily use particularly around the sink. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, 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 frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
What your worktop is made of matters
Quartz
Quartz is hard, but its edges are brittle. Chips are filled with tinted resin and polished.
Granite and stone
Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.
What a repair cannot fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Laminate that has blown or swollen
- Cracks right through stone that has moved
- A top that moves on its units
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair
- Granite & marble
- Solid wood
- Laminate
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Quartz
