Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material and finish

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Ilford. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Send pictures for a quote

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

  • One picture of the whole worktop
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Details of any past repairs

If you’re in Ilford and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

What your worktop is made of matters

Granite and stone

Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.

Wood

Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, with burns and dents put right.

Looking after it afterwards

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Keep a trivet by the hob
  • Oil wooden tops regularly
  • Take care with heavy pans near edges
  • Use a chopping board

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

Edge chips can get bigger, and on laminate, water can get into the core. An early repair prevents it.

Work for landlords and builders

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

What we cannot put right

A repair is not right for every job, including:

  • Discolouration deep in quartz
  • Failed support under the worktop
  • A cracked stone top that’s unsupported

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
