How to care for the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Keep wood oiled
- Keep joints and edges dry
- Watch the edges with heavy pans
- Never put hot pans down directly
Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, particularly with laminate and timber.
Don’t leave damage by the sink, because water gets in and swells the board.
Why repair rather than replace?
An identical replacement may look different next to aged worktops. A repair is matched to what you have now. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Landlord and trade work in Holmside
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, 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.
What worktop repair costs
Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Getting a price from photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
If you’re in Holmside and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Repairs by material
Wood
Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, with burns and dents put right.
Solid surface
Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so marks can often be sanded and refinished.
