What worktop repair costs
Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Guide. What changes the price is:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How much damage there is
- What kind of damage it is
- The colour and finish to match
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.
Send photos for a quote
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A picture taken from further back
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- What it’s made of, if you know
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
Worktop repair in Guide without replacing anything
We repair worktops in place, with the area around the damage covered. Most jobs take a few hours, and you can use the worktop again shortly afterwards. Whether it’s chips near the sink and chips caused during installation, we can help, whatever the material.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What else we do in Guide
Repairing versus replacing in Guide
Even if you could get the same laminate, it may not match after years of light and use. We match the repair to your worktop as it is today. Our worktop repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

What your worktop is made of matters
Laminate
A laminate worktop is a thin decorative layer on a board. Damage is filled and the pattern painted in by hand.
Wood
Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, with burns and dents put right.
Your questions about worktop repair in Guide
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Do you cover the entire of Blackburn with Darwen?
We cover the whole UK, including Guide and the rest of Blackburn with Darwen. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Is a burnt worktop repairable?
Normally, yes. We remove the damaged surface, fill it and recreate the pattern.
What we are called out for in Guide
Around the sink, water gets into joints on laminate and wood, which can cause swelling.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- A chipped edge
- A chipped quartz edge
- Scorch marks from pans
- Damage around the sink cut-out
Comparing quotes
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- How changes to the job are handled
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
What a repair can’t fix
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- Laminate that has blown or swollen
- Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
- A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What we work on
- Granite & marble
- Solid wood
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Quartz
- Laminate
Work for landlords and builders
If you manage property in Guide, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Guide use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

- Burnt or loose material is cut back.
- The area is filled and shaped.
- The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
- It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
How to get a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
