Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a worktop means taking out the damaged top, templating and fitting a replacement and reconnecting the sink and hob, and it may not match the rest of the kitchen. Repairing the damage keeps your existing worktop. Our worktop repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How to look after the repair
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Never put hot pans down directly
- Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
- Wipe up spills quickly
- Dry around the sink and joints
Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, particularly with laminate and timber.
Edge chips can get bigger, and on laminate, water can get into the core. Repairing it early stops that.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- The colour and finish to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material and finish
- How much damage there is
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Hensingham. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The material, if you know it
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
