Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Keep joints and edges dry
- Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
- Never put hot pans down directly
- Keep wood oiled
Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe up spills promptly, and keep wooden tops oiled.
Don’t leave damage by the sink, as water can get in and cause swelling.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What worktop repair costs
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Gatehouse of Fleet. The price reflects:
- The type of damage
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How many items we do on one visit
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from pictures
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A photo taken from further back
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Something in shot to show the size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
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 will come back to you with a fixed figure.
What we do, step by step
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, depending on the damage, including clearing up.
- First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
- Burnt or loose material is cut back.
- We fill and shape the damaged area.
- We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
- We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.
Before we arrive
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
How to get a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole worktop, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.

Should you replace it?
Replacing a worktop means taking out the damaged top, cutting and fitting a new one and refitting the sink and hob, and it may not match the rest of the kitchen. A repair keeps your existing worktop. Our worktop repair starts from £95. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
