What worktop repair costs
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- The colour and finish to match
- How many areas need work
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The type of damage
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A picture taken from further back
- Something in shot to show the size
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
What we do, step by step
You don’t need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. It generally takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First we look at the damage and what the worktop is made of.
- Next we clean up and prepare the damaged area.
- A filler that suits the material goes in, and missing edges are rebuilt.
- The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
- Finally we seal or finish the area to match.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let us know about parking or access

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Granite and stone
Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.
Solid surface
Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so scratches and burns can frequently be sanded out and refinished.
For landlords and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
FAQs for Huxter
Can you repair a burn in a worktop?
Usually, yes. The burn is cut back, filled and patterned to match.
Do you come to Huxter?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Huxter from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Do I need to empty the worktop?
Just clear the area around the damage. The rest is covered and protected.
Do you cover the entire of the Shetland Islands?
We cover the whole UK, including Huxter and the rest of the Shetland Islands. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Common problems we fix in Huxter
Most worktop damage takes a second: a hot pan put down without a trivet, or a heavy pan knocked against the edge. Scratches build up more slowly, from knives and grit.
Customers usually contact us about:
- A chipped quartz edge
- Snagging damage in a new kitchen
- Damage around the sink cut-out
- A chipped edge

Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
- Chopping boards prevent scratches
- Watch the edges with heavy pans
- Clean spills immediately
Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.
A burn or chip can get worse with daily use particularly around the sink. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.
When a repair is not the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Laminate that has blown or swollen
- Failed support under the worktop
- Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
