Repair or replace: which is better?
If the worktop is swollen by water or badly damaged along its length, replacement may be the answer. For chips, burns and scratches, a repair is the better value. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

How we price worktop repair
Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Howdon. The price depends on:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many items we do on one visit
- What kind of damage it is
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Send photos for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Any details about the material
- Where you are, by postcode
Most clients in Howdon get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Don’t knock pans against the edge
- Keep a trivet by the hob
- Clean spills right away
- Dry around the sink and joints
Keep joints and the sink edge dry, especially on laminate and wood.
Do not leave damage by the sink, because water gets in and swells the board.
