Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- What the surface is made of
- How much damage there is
- The type of damage
- Access to the area
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

The process
There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours, depending on the damage.
- We start by checking the damage and the worktop material.
- We clean the area and prepare the edges of the damage.
- A filler that suits the material goes in, and missing edges are rebuilt.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- Finally we seal or finish the area to match.

Advice
Kernick: your questions answered
Will the repair match a patterned worktop?
Yes, the pattern is built up by hand so it blends in.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
What does worktop repair cost?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item and your postcode.
How much do I need to move?
Only around the repair. You can typically still use the rest of the kitchen.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
What do you need from me?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Repairs by material
Wood
Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, with burns and dents put right.
Solid surface
Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so marks can often be sanded and refinished.
Do you need worktop repair in Kernick?
Cut-outs for the sink and hob are the weakest parts, so cracks and chips frequently start there.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Burns from hot pans
- Damage from fitting or building work
- Chipped corners
- Damage to a stone worktop
Comparing quotes
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- How soon you can use it again
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
Work for landlords and builders
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a worktop means removing the old one, templating and fitting a replacement and reconnecting the sink and hob, and it may not match the rest of the kitchen. Repairing the damage leaves the worktop in place. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
