How we price worktop repair

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether we combine several jobs

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Send pictures for a quote

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A wider photo showing the entire worktop
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Work for landlords and builders

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hove use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Solid surface

Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so marks can frequently be sanded and refinished.

Quartz

Quartz is crushed stone bound with resin. We fill and polish chipped edges to match the sheen.

Hove: your questions answered

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Can you match the pattern on my worktop?

We match colour, flecks and veining by hand, so the repair blends into the surface.

Do you repair quartz?

Yes, often. We match the colour and polish the repair.

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

About Hove

Hove is about 2 miles west of Brighton, in Brighton and Hove. We agree a date that works for you, and you will know when to expect us, so you’re not left waiting in all day. Hove is one of 30 towns and villages in Brighton and Hove where we work. We work right across the region, from Hove to London (46 miles away).

Here we cover the BN3, BN1 and BN52 postcode area. We regularly work on streets such as Farm Road, York Road and Aymer Road and the roads around them. With the A270 and A2023 close by, Hove is simple for us to get to. If you’re just outside Hove, we cover Brighton and Hove (1 mile north-west), Brunswick (1 mile south-east), Aldrington (1 mile west), Prestonville (1 mile north-east) and West Blatchington (1 mile north). Within a short drive, we also cover Kemptown (3 miles east), Whitehawk (3 miles east), Moulsecoomb (3 miles east), Hollingbury (3 miles north-east), Bevendean (3 miles east) and Saltdean (6 miles east). As one of the bigger places in Brighton and Hove, Hove sees plenty of our work.

Keeping it looking good

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Don’t let water sit on joints
  • Do not leave spills to soak in
  • Take care with heavy pans near edges
  • Never put hot pans down directly

Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe spills straight away, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.

Do not leave damage by the sink, because water gets in and swells the board.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

How the visit works

Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.

  1. We assess the damage and the worktop material.
  2. The area is cleaned and the edges of the damage prepared.
  3. We fill with a filler suited to the material and rebuild any missing edge.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The surface is sealed or finished to suit the worktop.

Before we arrive

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

How to get a price

Upload pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, with your BN3 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
