How we price worktop repair
Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for High Pittington. What changes the price is:
- Access to the area
- How many items we do on one visit
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The size and number of damaged areas
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Quotes from your pictures
You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Something in shot to show the size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One picture of the entire worktop
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire worktop, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Keep a trivet by the hob
- Steer clear of strong cleaners
- Re-oil timber worktops
- Watch the edges with heavy pans
Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, especially on laminate and wood.
Don’t leave damage by the sink, as water can get in and cause swelling.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Repairing versus replacing in High Pittington
A new worktop means removing the old one, templating and fitting a replacement and reconnecting the sink and hob, and matching the rest of the kitchen can be hard. A repair keeps your existing worktop. Our worktop repair starts from £95. 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.
