Repairing versus replacing in Lee Chapel
A new worktop means removing the old one, templating and fitting a replacement and refitting the sink and hob, and matching the rest of the kitchen can be hard. Repairing the damage leaves the worktop in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Getting a price from pictures
Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. Try to include:

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.
Do you hold any accreditations?

Is repairing better than replacing?

What happens after I send pictures?

I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Which areas do you work in?

Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Chopping boards prevent scratches
- Never put hot pans down directly
- Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
- Keep wood oiled
Let the repair cure for the time we give you before putting anything heavy or hot on it. After that, trivets and chopping boards protect it best.
A burn or chip can get worse with daily use. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.
The process
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. It normally takes a few hours, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- First we look at the damage and what the worktop is made of.
- We clean the area and prepare the edges of the damage.
- We fill with a filler suited to the material and rebuild any missing edge.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- We seal or finish the surface to suit the worktop.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

What else we do in Lee Chapel
Do you need worktop repair in Lee Chapel?
Cut-outs for the sink and hob are the weakest parts, so cracks and chips frequently start there.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Burns from hot pans
- A chipped edge
- Chips near the sink
- Cuts and scratches in the surface
Questions to ask before you book
- Who will actually do the work
- Whether the price covers travel
- What protection goes down before work starts
- When it can be used again
Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
