Questions from Gabber
How do I get a price for worktop repair in Gabber?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Will the repair match a patterned worktop?
Yes. We recreate the pattern by hand.
Are there extra charges for Gabber?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
What happens next?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

When a repair is not the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
- Through cracks in stone that is moving
- Laminate swollen by water from underneath
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Advice
Can I fix it myself?
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.
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.
What worktop repair costs
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The colour and finish to match
- The material
- How many items we do on one visit
Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Send pictures for a quote
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any details about the material
- One sharp close-up of the damage
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
How to look after the repair
Aftercare is simple:
- Keep a trivet by the hob
- Steer clear of strong cleaners
- Take care with heavy pans near edges
- Keep wood oiled
Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.
Daily use can make burns and chips worse, especially near the sink. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Even if you could get the same laminate, it may not match after years of light and use. A repair is matched to what you have now. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
