How we price worktop repair
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- How many areas need work
- Access to the area
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Doing more than one item at once
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Send pictures for a quote
Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The material, if you know it
- A wider photo showing the entire worktop
- Where you are, by postcode
Email us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Great Ashfield, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Repairing versus replacing in Great Ashfield
An identical replacement may look different next to aged worktops. A repair is matched to what you have now. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
What happens on the day
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for a few hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First we look at the damage and what the worktop is made of.
- The area is cleaned and the edges of the damage prepared.
- We fill the damage with a suitable filler and build up any lost edge.
- The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
- The surface is sealed or finished to suit the worktop.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Keep a parking space free if you can
How to get a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Advice
Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Steer clear of strong cleaners
- Oil wooden tops regularly
- Do not knock pans against the edge
- Wipe up spills quickly
Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe spills right away, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.
Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, because water gets in and swells the board.
What a repair can’t fix
We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Discolouration deep in quartz
- Laminate swollen by water from underneath
- Through cracks in stone that is moving
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Quartz
- Solid wood
- Granite & marble
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Laminate

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
