Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing even one length of worktop means templating, cutting, fitting and often a new sink and hob connection. A repair takes a few hours and leaves everything in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Work for landlords and builders
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
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.

Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best:
- Use a chopping board
- Keep wood oiled
- Wipe up spills quickly
- Never put hot pans down directly
Keep joints and the sink edge dry, especially on laminate and wood.
A chip on an edge can grow, and on laminate, water can get into the core. Repairing it early stops that.
What happens on the day
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
- We cut back any burnt or loose material.
- The area is filled and shaped.
- The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
- It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Open a window if you can
How to get a price

Advice
What affects the price in Kingsdon
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- The colour and finish to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether we combine several jobs
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Send photos for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Details of any past repairs
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- What it’s made of, if you know
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the worktop, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Laminate
Laminate is a printed surface bonded to a board. We fill damage and paint in the pattern by hand.
Quartz
Quartz is tough, though edges can chip. We fill chips with a tinted resin and polish them to the worktop’s finish.
