What worktop repair costs
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Access to the area
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Worktop repair in Lane End without replacing anything
A new worktop rarely matches the old one, particularly where several lengths join. Repairing the damage keeps your kitchen as it is. We work on solid wood, quartz and laminate, and the jobs we see most are scorch marks from pans and chips on edges and corners.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
For landlords and businesses
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.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.

Your questions about worktop repair in Lane End
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Do I need to clear the kitchen?
Only the area we’re working on. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Lane End.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
How do I book?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
How to care for the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
- Do not let water sit on joints
- Always use a trivet for hot pans
- Take care with heavy pans near edges
Keep joints and the sink edge dry, especially on laminate and wood.
Do not leave damage by the sink, because water gets in and swells the board.
