What affects the price in Fotherby
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- How hard the colour is to match
- What the surface is made of
- How much damage there is
- The type of damage
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
How to get a fixed price
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- A wider photo showing the whole worktop
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Natural light rather than flash
There’s no need for us to visit first. 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.
Can I fix it myself?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
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, then guarantee it for a year.

Across the UK, so Fotherby is covered. Prices don’t change with location.

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

When a repair is not the answer
Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:
- Water-swollen laminate
- A top that moves on its units
- Cracks right through stone that has moved
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair
- Laminate
- Solid wood
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Quartz
- Granite & marble
Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Keep a trivet by the hob
- Wipe up spills quickly
- Chopping boards prevent scratches
- Dry around the sink and joints
Let the repair cure for the time we give you before putting anything heavy or hot on it. After that, trivets and chopping boards protect it best.
Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, because water gets in and swells the board.
Common problems we fix in Fotherby
Worktops take more punishment than anything else in the kitchen. Hot pans leave burns, knives leave scratches, and edges chip when heavy pans or tins hit them.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Chips on edges and corners
- Snagging damage in a new kitchen
- Damage around the sink cut-out
- A dent from a dropped pan
Questions to ask before booking
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- If travel is included in the price
- Whether they match the colour on site
Repair or replace in Fotherby?
If the worktop is swollen by water or badly damaged along its length, replacement may be the answer. For chips, burns and scratches, a repair is the better value. Our worktop repair starts from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
