DIY kit or professional repair?
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, then guarantee it for a year.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What worktop repair costs
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Low Etherley. What changes the price is:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What the surface is made of
- How hard the colour is to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- One picture of the entire worktop
- Any details about the material
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Clean spills right away
- Do not cut directly on the worktop
- Dry around the sink and joints
- Do not knock pans against the edge
Let the repair cure for the time we give you before putting anything heavy or hot on it. After that, trivets and chopping boards are your best protection.
Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, because water gets in and swells the board.
What your worktop is made of matters
Granite and stone
Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.
Wood
Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, and burns and dents repaired.
How the visit works
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
- Burnt or loose material is cut back.
- We fill and shape the damaged area.
- We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
- We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Getting a price
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
Related advice
Low Etherley questions
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
What do you need from me?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Do you cover Low Etherley?
We do. Technicians travel to Low Etherley from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Work for landlords and builders
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
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.
Honest limits
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Cracks right through stone that has moved
- Water-swollen laminate
- Failed support under the worktop
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
