What worktop repair costs
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material
- How much damage there is
- Access to the area
A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed price
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
Common problems we fix in Haswell

- Burns from hot pans
- A damaged sink edge
- Chips caused during installation
- Chipped corners
Before you book anyone
- How the room is protected while they work
- When it can be used again
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- How to care for the finish
Can I fix it myself?
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, and the work is guaranteed.
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.

For landlords and businesses
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Haswell questions
Do I need to empty the worktop?
Just near the damage. The rest of the kitchen stays usable.
How quickly can you book me in?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
What areas do you cover?
We cover the entire UK, including Haswell and the rest of County Durham. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole worktop and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
What happens after I send pictures?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Chopping boards prevent scratches
- Never put hot pans down directly
- Watch the edges with heavy pans
- Clean spills right away
Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe spills immediately, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.
A burn or chip can get worse with daily use, especially near the sink. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.
What we cannot put right
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Laminate that has blown or swollen
- Severe heat marks in quartz
- A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Quartz
- Laminate
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Solid wood

Different materials, different repairs
Solid surface
Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so scratches and burns can often be sanded out and refinished.
Laminate
A laminate worktop is a thin decorative layer on a board. We fill damage and paint in the pattern by hand.
The process
We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage for most jobs. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.
- We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
- Burnt or loose material is cut back.
- We fill and shape the damaged area.
- We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
- It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
