How we price worktop repair
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Getting a price from photos
You can take the photos on your phone. Just make sure we can see:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The material, if you know it
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
Worktop repair in Gilfach without replacing anything
Worktops are expensive to replace and hard to match, especially in an L-shaped or long kitchen. A repair leaves the kitchen untouched. If you’re dealing with snagging damage in a new kitchen and scorch marks from pans, we can help.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Gilfach questions
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Are there extra charges for Gilfach?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Which areas do you work in?
All of Herefordshire, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Will the repair match a patterned worktop?
We match colour, flecks and veining by hand, for a repair that blends in.
Do I need to clear the kitchen?
Just clear the area around the damage. The rest is covered and protected.
When we’d advise against a repair
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:
- Cracks right through stone that has moved
- A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
- Severe heat marks in quartz
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Materials we work on in Gilfach
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Solid wood
- Granite & marble
- Quartz
- Laminate
What happens on the day
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- First we look at the damage and what the worktop is made of.
- Next we clean up and prepare the damaged area.
- We fill the damage with a suitable filler and build up any lost edge.
- The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
- We seal or finish the surface to suit the worktop.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
Ask for a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Landlord and trade work in Gilfach
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.
Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Take care with heavy pans near edges
- Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
- Wipe up spills quickly
- Keep a trivet by the hob
Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe up spills promptly, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.
Daily use can make burns and chips worse. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.
Different materials, different repairs
Solid surface
Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so marks can often be sanded and refinished.
Granite and stone
Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Stone and quartz tops are templated and cut to fit, so replacing one section is a big job. A repair takes a few hours. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, 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 doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why book with us
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- Same prices wherever you are
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
