What worktop repair costs
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- How many areas need work
- The material
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Quotes from your pictures
You can take the photos on your phone. Make sure they show:
- Details of any past repairs
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A photo taken from further back
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
What a repair can’t fix
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- Severe heat marks in quartz
- Laminate that has blown or swollen
- Cracks right through stone that has moved
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
What we work on
- Granite & marble
- Laminate
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Quartz
- Solid wood
For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.

When to call us in Glenelg
Around the sink, water gets into joints on laminate and wood, which can cause swelling.
People normally call us after spotting one of these:
- A damaged sink edge
- Chips in quartz or granite
- Burns from hot pans
- Damage from fitting or building work
Questions to ask before you book
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- How long it needs to cure
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
How to look after the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Clean spills immediately
- Always use a trivet for hot pans
- Steer clear of strong cleaners
- Watch the edges with heavy pans
Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe spills straight away, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.
A burn or chip can get worse with daily use. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.

FAQs for Glenelg
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
How much do I need to move?
Only around the repair. You can typically still use the rest of the kitchen.
Do you cover the whole of Highland?
All of Highland, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Are there extra charges for Glenelg?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
Do you cover Glenelg?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Glenelg and the rest of Highland. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new worktop means taking out the damaged top, cutting and fitting a new one and refitting the sink and hob, and matching the rest of the kitchen can be hard. Repairing the damage leaves the worktop in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. It normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
- We cut back any burnt or loose material.
- We fill and shape the damaged area.
- The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
- It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
