Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing even one length of worktop means templating, cutting, fitting and frequently a new sink and hob connection. A repair takes a few hours and leaves everything in place. Our worktop repair starts from £95. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Godmersham questions
Can you price it without visiting?
Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
How much do I need to move?
Just clear the area around the damage. The rest is covered and protected.
Do you cover Godmersham?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Godmersham from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
What we can’t put right
A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- Laminate that has blown or swollen
- A cracked stone top that is unsupported
- Discolouration deep in quartz
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Solid wood
- Laminate
- Quartz
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Granite & marble
How it works
There is not much you need to do on the day. 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.
- First we look at the damage and what the worktop is made of.
- The area is cleaned and the edges of the damage prepared.
- A filler that suits the material goes in, and missing edges are rebuilt.
- The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
- We seal or finish the surface to suit the worktop.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Let us know about parking or access
- Point us to the nearest place to park
Ask for a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the worktop, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Quartz
Quartz is crushed stone bound with resin. Edge chips are very common, and we fill and polish them.
Laminate
A laminate worktop is a thin decorative layer on a board. Damage is filled and the pattern painted in by hand.
How to look after the repair
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Keep a trivet by the hob
- Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
- Don’t knock pans against the edge
- Don’t let water sit on joints
Let the repair cure for the time we give you before putting anything heavy or hot on it. After that, trivets and chopping boards protect it best.
A burn or chip can get worse with daily use. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.
