What a repair can’t fix

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • A top that moves on its units
  • Cracks right through stone that has moved
  • Severe heat marks in quartz

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

  • Quartz
  • Granite & marble
  • Solid surface (such as Corian)
  • Laminate
  • Solid wood

How to look after the repair

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Watch the edges with heavy pans
  • Wipe up spills quickly
  • Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
  • Do not cut directly on the worktop

Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe spills straight away, and keep wooden tops oiled.

Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, as water can get in and cause swelling.

How we price worktop repair

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • How many areas need work
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Getting a price from photos

Two or three clear photos are generally enough. Try to include:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Something in shot to show the size

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Even if you could get the same laminate, it may not match after years of light and use. We match the repair to your worktop as it is today. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

How it works

There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, tidy-up included.

  1. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
  2. The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
  3. We fill it and level it with the worktop.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed and polished to match.

Before we arrive

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
