What your worktop is made of matters
Wood
Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, and burns and dents repaired.
Solid surface
Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so scratches and burns can often be sanded out and refinished.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new worktop means removing the old one, templating and fitting a replacement and reconnecting the sink and hob, and matching the rest of the kitchen can be hard. A repair keeps your existing worktop. Our worktop repair starts from £95. 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. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Clean spills right away
- Do not cut directly on the worktop
- Oil wooden tops regularly
- Dry around the sink and joints
Keep joints and the sink edge dry, especially on laminate and wood.
A burn or chip can get worse with daily use particularly around the sink. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.
What worktop repair costs
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether we combine several jobs
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
How to get a fixed price
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any details about the material
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A wider photo showing the whole worktop
To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

FAQs for Formby

What we cannot put right

- A cracked stone top that is unsupported
- Discolouration deep in quartz
- Laminate that has blown or swollen
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Materials we work on in Formby
- Granite & marble
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Quartz
- Laminate
- Solid wood
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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 usually the cheaper route.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
