Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material
  • How hard the colour is to match

Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Send photos for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One picture of the whole worktop

Most clients in Kippford get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

What happens on the day

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which generally takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
  2. Burnt or loose material is cut back.
  3. We fill and shape the damaged area.
  4. The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
  5. It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Kippford questions

Will the repair match a patterned worktop?

We match colour, flecks and veining by hand, so the repair blends into the surface.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

How much does worktop repair cost in Kippford?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Can a scorch mark be fixed?

Normally, yes. We remove the damaged surface, fill it and recreate the pattern.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

Can tenants book a repair?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

When we would advise against a repair

We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath
  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
  • Severe heat marks in quartz

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

Why repair rather than replace?

An identical replacement may look different next to aged worktops. A repair is matched to what you have now. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why us?

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

See our prices page.

What your worktop is made of matters

Laminate

A laminate worktop is a thin decorative layer on a board. Damage is filled and the pattern painted in by hand.

Solid surface

Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so scratches and burns can frequently be sanded out and refinished.

10 questions to ask before you book

Should I try a DIY kit first?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

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.

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
