Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a worktop means removing the old one, cutting and fitting a new one and refitting the sink and hob, and matching the rest of the kitchen can be hard. Repairing the damage keeps your existing worktop. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Keeping it looking good

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Keep joints and edges dry
  • Watch the edges with heavy pans
  • Don’t leave spills to soak in
  • Use a chopping board

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.

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

When a repair is not the answer

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • A top that moves on its units
  • A cracked stone top that is unsupported
  • Water-swollen laminate

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Materials we repair

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

What worktop repair costs

Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Lower Swell. The price reflects:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How much damage there is
  • The type of damage

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.

How to get a fixed price

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any details about the material
  • Natural light rather than flash

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.

DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Do you need worktop repair in Lower Swell?

Most chips are on edges and corners, usually from pans, tins or dishes knocked against them.

  • Dents and gouges

  • Snagging damage in a new kitchen

What your quote should include

  • How soon you can use it again
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Who will actually do the work
  • What preparation is included
