How we price worktop repair
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Doing more than one item at once
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
Send photos for a quote
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

- Where you are, by postcode

DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep joints and edges dry
- Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
- Oil wooden tops regularly
- Wipe up spills quickly
Leave the repaired area free of hot or heavy items until it has cured. After that, trivets and chopping boards protect it best.
Edge chips can get bigger, and on laminate, water can get into the core. Repairing it early stops that.
Repair or replace in Kirk Merrington?
Swollen or badly damaged laminate may need replacing. For chips, burns and scratches, repair is typically far better value. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Advice
Questions from Kirk Merrington
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Do you repair quartz?
Yes. Chips on edges and around the sink are very common repairs, matched and polished.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
What do you need from me?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Do I need to empty the worktop?
Only around the repair. You can generally still use the rest of the kitchen.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Work for landlords and builders
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Do you need worktop repair in Kirk Merrington?
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.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Damage around the sink cut-out
- A heat mark or burn
- Damage to a stone worktop
- Scratches and knife marks
What your quote should include

- When it can be used again
