How we price worktop repair
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- What the surface is made of
- Access to the area
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The size and number of damaged areas
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from pictures
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A wider photo showing the entire worktop
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
If you’re in Hittisleigh 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.

What we cannot put right
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- A top that moves on its units
- Cracks right through stone that has moved
- Discolouration deep in quartz
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on
- Quartz
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Granite & marble
- Solid wood
- Laminate
Should you replace it?
Even a single new length of worktop means templating, cutting and refitting the sink and hob. A repair takes a few hours and leaves everything in place. Prices start from £95. 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 pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
- Wipe up spills quickly
- Keep a trivet by the hob
- Use a chopping board
Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe up spills promptly, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.
Daily use can make burns and chips worse. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.
Common questions in Hittisleigh
Do I need to clear the kitchen?
Just clear the area around the damage. The rest is covered and protected.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
What happens next?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Is a burnt worktop repairable?
Generally. A picture lets us check what’s possible.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
