What affects the price in Great Gaddesden
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Something in shot to show the size
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the worktop, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Your questions about worktop repair in Great Gaddesden
Can you price it without visiting?
Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire worktop and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Do you cover Great Gaddesden?
We do. We send a technician to Great Gaddesden for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
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.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a worktop means taking out the damaged top, cutting and fitting a new one and reconnecting the sink and hob, and matching the rest of the kitchen can be hard. A repair leaves the worktop in place. Our worktop repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
What you get with us
- Everything repaired in place
- One visit for most repairs
- A fixed quote before you book
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK

When we would advise against a repair
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Severe heat marks in quartz
- A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
- Water-swollen laminate
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Granite & marble
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Laminate
- Quartz
- Solid wood
What happens on the day
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We start by checking the damage and the worktop material.
- We clean the area and prepare the edges of the damage.
- We fill with a filler suited to the material and rebuild any missing edge.
- The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
- Finally we seal or finish the area to match.
How to prepare
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Getting a price
Email us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, with your HP1 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Keep wood oiled
- Don’t knock pans against the edge
- Always use a trivet for hot pans
- Steer clear of strong cleaners
Leave the repaired area free of hot or heavy items until it has cured. After that, trivets and chopping boards are your best protection.
Don’t leave damage by the sink, because water gets in and swells the board.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
