About our worktop repair in Headless Cross
Worktops are expensive to replace and hard to match, especially in an L-shaped or long kitchen. A repair leaves the kitchen untouched. If you’re dealing with knife marks and snagging damage in a new kitchen, we can help.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What worktop repair costs
Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Headless Cross. What changes the price is:
- How much damage there is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Unusual colours or finishes
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.
How to get a fixed quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A wider photo showing the whole worktop
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Natural light rather than flash
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Questions from Headless Cross
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Can you repair a burn in a worktop?
Generally, yes. We remove the damaged surface, fill it and recreate the pattern.
Will the repair match a patterned worktop?
Yes. We recreate the pattern by hand.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
What happens next?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
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, then guarantee it for a year.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
How to care for the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Chopping boards prevent scratches
- Always use a trivet for hot pans
- Keep joints and edges dry
- Re-oil timber worktops
Keep joints and the sink edge dry, particularly with laminate and timber.
Edge chips can get bigger, and on laminate, water can get into the core. An early repair prevents it.

- We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
- Burnt or loose material is cut back.
- We fill and shape the damaged area.
- The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
- It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit

Getting a price

Repair or replace: which is better?

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
