How we price worktop repair

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The type of damage

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

Send photos for a quote

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • One picture of the entire worktop
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Quartz

Quartz worktops are mostly stone set in resin. Edge chips are very common, and we fill and polish them to match the sheen.

Granite and stone

Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.

Landlord and trade work in Lower Stondon

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

What a repair can’t fix

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Water-swollen laminate
  • Severe heat marks in quartz
  • A top that moves on its units

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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

What we do, step by step

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes a few hours for most jobs. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
  2. Burnt or loose material is cut back.
  3. We fill and shape the damaged area.
  4. We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
  5. It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Open a window if you can
  • Ensure the area is dry

How to get a price

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Related advice

Why repair rather than replace?

Stone and quartz have to be templated and cut, so replacing one section is a big job. Repairing it is a few hours’ work. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Lower Stondon. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why book with us

  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Everything repaired in place

Read our full price list.

Looking after it afterwards

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Keep a trivet by the hob
  • Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
  • Do not cut directly on the worktop
  • Keep joints and edges dry

Keep joints and the sink edge dry, especially on laminate and wood.

A burn or chip can get worse with daily use particularly around the sink. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.
