Repairing versus replacing in Lower Holbrook
A new worktop means removing the old one, templating and fitting a replacement and reconnecting the sink and hob, and matching the rest of the kitchen can be hard. A repair keeps your existing worktop. Prices start from £95. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

What worktop repair costs
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Access to the area
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The size and number of damaged areas
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The material, if you know it
- A wider photo showing the entire worktop
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.
What we do, step by step
Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- The area around the damage is protected.
- We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
- We fill it and level it with the worktop.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- The repair is sealed and polished to match.
How to prepare
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Getting a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the worktop, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

When a repair isn’t the answer
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- Laminate that has blown or swollen
- Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
- A top that moves on its units
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
What we work on
- Solid wood
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Quartz
- Laminate
- Granite & marble
Different materials, different repairs
Granite and stone
Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.
Laminate
Laminate is a printed surface over a board. We fill the damage and recreate the pattern by hand.
Work for landlords and builders
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.

How to look after the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Keep joints and edges dry
- Always use a trivet for hot pans
- Re-oil timber worktops
- Steer clear of strong cleaners
Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.
Daily use can make burns and chips worse, especially near the sink. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.
