How we price worktop repair
Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Lower Key. What changes the price is:
- What kind of damage it is
- What the surface is made of
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Lower Key. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Send pictures for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One picture of the whole worktop
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Lower Key, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Repair or replace in Lower Key?
If the worktop is swollen by water or badly damaged along its length, replacement may be the answer. For chips, burns and scratches, a repair is the better value. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

The process
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. Allow a morning or an afternoon, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- We start by checking the damage and the worktop material.
- We clean the area and prepare the edges of the damage.
- We fill the damage with a suitable filler and build up any lost edge.
- The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
- We seal or finish the surface to suit the worktop.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Clear the area around the damage
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Ask for a price
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire worktop, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
Advice
Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Chopping boards prevent scratches
- Wipe up spills quickly
- Keep joints and edges dry
- Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe up spills promptly, and keep wooden tops oiled.
A burn or chip can get worse with daily use particularly around the sink. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.
Common questions in Lower Key
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
How much do I need to move?
Only the area we are working on. The rest is covered and protected.
Can you quote from pictures?
Usually, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Do you work in Lower Key?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Lower Key for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Different materials, different repairs
Solid surface
Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so scratches and burns can frequently be sanded out and refinished.
Granite and stone
Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.
When to call us in Lower Key
Around the sink, water gets into joints on laminate and wood, and that can make them swell.
People generally call us after spotting something like this:
- Dents and gouges
- Chips caused during installation
- A chipped edge
- A chipped quartz edge
Comparing quotes
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- What protection goes down before work starts
Landlord and trade work in Lower Key
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Lower Key use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.
Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
