DIY kit or professional repair?
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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.

What else we do in Friar Waddon
Repair or replace: which is better?
Even a single new length of worktop means templating, cutting and refitting the sink and hob. A repair takes a few hours and leaves everything in place. Our worktop repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What affects the price in Friar Waddon
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Friar Waddon. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- The material, if you know it
- A wider photo showing the entire worktop
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Solid surface
Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so marks can often be sanded and refinished.
Granite and stone
Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.
What we are called out for in Friar Waddon
Worktops take more punishment than anything else in the kitchen. Hot pans scorch, knives leave scratches, and edges chip when heavy pans or tins hit them.
The things customers normally mention when they call are:
- A chipped edge
- Burns from hot pans
- Knife marks
- Chips caused during installation
Questions to ask before you book
- How changes to the job are handled
- What prep work is covered
- When it can be used again
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
How to care for the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Steer clear of strong cleaners
- Don’t leave spills to soak in
- Take care with heavy pans near edges
- Never put hot pans down directly
Leave the repaired area free of hot or heavy items until it has cured. After that, trivets and chopping boards are your best protection.
Edge chips can get bigger, and water can reach the core of laminate. An early repair prevents it.
What a repair can’t fix
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- A top that moves on its units
- Severe heat marks in quartz
- Laminate that has blown or swollen
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

- Solid surface (such as Corian)
