What worktop repair costs
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- How much damage there is
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The type of damage
- Whether we combine several jobs
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send pictures for a quote
You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

- Something in shot to show the size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Natural light rather than flash
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire worktop, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.
Questions from Leicester Forest East
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Do you come to Leicester Forest East?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Leicester Forest East for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
What we can’t put right
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:
- A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
- Through cracks in stone that is moving
- Laminate swollen by water from underneath
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Laminate
- Granite & marble
- Solid surface (such as Corian)

Common problems we fix in Leicester Forest East
The worst damage frequently happens in a moment: a hot pan set straight down, or a heavy pan catching the edge. Scratches build up more slowly, from knives and grit.
Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Knife marks
- A chipped edge
- Chips near the sink
- A heat mark or burn
What to look for in a quote
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Whether they match the colour on site
Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Never put hot pans down directly
- Keep wood oiled
- Clean spills straight away
- Keep joints and edges dry
Keep joints and the sink edge dry, particularly with laminate and timber.
Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, because water gets in and swells the board.

- We assess the damage and the worktop material.
- The area is cleaned and the edges of the damage prepared.
- We fill the damage with a suitable filler and build up any lost edge.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
