How quickly can you book me in?

What worktop repair costs

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Send photos for a quote

You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Email us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Holtby, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Work for landlords and builders

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.

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

Our hiring checklist

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

How to look after the repair

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Always use a trivet for hot pans
  • Steer clear of strong cleaners
  • Wipe up spills quickly
  • Keep wood oiled

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

A chip on an edge can grow, and on laminate, water can get into the core. An early repair prevents it.

Repairs by material

Granite and stone

Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.

Quartz

Quartz is hard, but its edges are brittle. We fill chips with a tinted resin and polish them.

Honest limits

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • A cracked stone top that is unsupported
  • Severe heat marks in quartz
  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

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

What we do, step by step

The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. The area around the damage is protected.
  2. We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
  3. It’s filled and levelled with the surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal and polish it to the right sheen.

Preparing for the visit

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
