What worktop repair costs

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • The type of damage
  • How many areas need work
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material and finish

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How to get a fixed quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • Any details about the material
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

If you’re in High Westwood and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

For landlords and businesses

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in High Westwood as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

What your worktop is made of matters

Wood

Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, with burns and dents put right.

Laminate

A laminate worktop is a thin decorative layer on a board. Damage is filled and the pattern painted in by hand.

The process

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job typically takes a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
  2. We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
  3. We fill it and level it with the worktop.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal and polish it to the right sheen.

How to prepare

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

How to get a price

FAQs for High Westwood

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in High Westwood.

How do I book?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Do you repair quartz?

Yes. Chips on edges and around the sink are very common repairs, matched and polished.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Keeping it looking good

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Do not leave spills to soak in
  • Chopping boards prevent scratches
  • Keep wood oiled
  • Don’t let water sit on joints

Let the repair cure for the time we give you before putting anything heavy or hot on it. After that, trivets and chopping boards protect it best.

Daily use can make burns and chips worse, especially near the sink. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.
