Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing even one length of worktop means templating, cutting, fitting and often a new sink and hob connection. A repair is a few hours with everything left in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

How we price worktop repair
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Foster Street. What changes the price is:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material
- How much damage there is
- What kind of damage it is
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Foster Street. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Natural light rather than flash
- The material, if you know it
- Something in shot to show the size
Upload pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your CM17 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best:
- Don’t let water sit on joints
- Clean spills straight away
- Chopping boards prevent scratches
- Watch the edges with heavy pans
Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe spills straight away, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.
Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, as water can get in and cause swelling.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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 then the old filler has to be removed first.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
What we do, step by step
Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes a few hours in most cases. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.
- We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
- Burnt or loose material is cut back.
- The area is filled and shaped.
- We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
- It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
How to get a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
