Repairing versus replacing in Marshalswick
A new worktop means removing the old one, cutting and fitting a new one and reconnecting the sink and hob, and it may not match the rest of the kitchen. A repair keeps your existing worktop. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Marshalswick. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Take care with heavy pans near edges
- Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
- Do not cut directly on the worktop
- Keep a trivet by the hob
Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.
Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, as water can get in and cause swelling.
FAQs for Marshalswick
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Marshalswick.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Do I need to empty the worktop?
Just near the damage. You can normally still use the rest of the kitchen.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can a scorch mark be fixed?
Typically, yes. The burn is cut back, filled and patterned to match.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
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: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- How many items we do on one visit
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Unusual colours or finishes
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send photos for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Natural light rather than flash
- Something in shot to show the size
- A photo taken from further back
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Repairs by material
Solid surface
Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so marks can often be sanded and refinished.
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 Marshalswick
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Marshalswick use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
If you manage property in Marshalswick, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
