What worktop repair costs
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material
- Access to the area
We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Quotes from your photos
You can take the photos on your phone. Just ensure we can see:
- A wider photo showing the entire worktop
- Something in shot to show the size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The material, if you know it
Upload pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your SS5 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Hawkwell: your questions answered
What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
What areas do you cover?
The entire UK, including all of Essex. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.
Do you cover Hawkwell?
We do. We send a technician to Hawkwell for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Is a burnt worktop repairable?
Often, yes. The burn is cut back, filled and patterned to match.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
When a repair isn’t the answer
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Laminate swollen by water from underneath
- Cracks right through stone that has moved
- A top that moves on its units
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Laminate
- Quartz
- Solid wood
- Granite & marble
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Use a chopping board
- Dry around the sink and joints
- Watch the edges with heavy pans
- Never put hot pans down directly
Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.
Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, as water can get in and cause swelling.
What we do, step by step
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First we look at the damage and what the worktop is made of.
- Next we clean up and prepare the damaged area.
- 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
- Open a window if you can
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
Getting a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Related advice
Should you replace it?
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. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
