Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many items we do on one visit
No two jobs are quite the same, 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 get a fixed quote
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Details of any past repairs
- The material, if you know it
- Where you are, by postcode
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the worktop, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Advice
Signs you need worktop repair in High Garrett
Sink and hob cut-outs are weak points, and that is where cracks often begin.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Knife marks
- Chips on edges and corners
- A dent from a dropped pan
- Burns from hot pans
Questions to ask before booking
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What prep work is covered
- How soon you can use it again
DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
For landlords and businesses
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Essex and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
How to look after the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Chopping boards prevent scratches
- Don’t let water sit on joints
- Don’t knock pans against the edge
- Re-oil timber worktops
Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe up spills promptly, and keep wooden tops oiled.
Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, as water can get in and cause swelling.
