What worktop repair costs

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Access to the area

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Quotes from your pictures

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A picture taken from further back
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The material, if you know it

For a price in High Moorsley, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

What we do, step by step

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. It normally takes a few hours, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
  2. Burnt or loose material is cut back.
  3. We fill and shape the damaged area.
  4. The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
  5. We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

When we would advise against a repair

We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
  • A cracked stone top that is unsupported
  • Laminate that has blown or swollen

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

  • Solid wood
  • Solid surface (such as Corian)
  • Laminate
  • Granite & marble
  • Quartz

Different materials, different repairs

Laminate

Laminate worktops have a printed decorative layer over a board core. We fill the damage and recreate the pattern.

Wood

Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, with burns and dents put right.

How to look after the repair

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Do not let water sit on joints
  • Do not knock pans against the edge
  • Clean spills right away
  • Steer clear of strong cleaners

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. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.

DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.
