How we price worktop repair
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- How many areas need work
- How hard the colour is to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material
Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed price
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- A wider photo showing the whole worktop
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any details about the material
- One sharp close-up of the damage
You don’t 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 reply with a fixed price.

Questions from Martlesham Heath
Can you match the pattern on my worktop?
Yes. We recreate the pattern by hand so it blends in.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Do you cover the entire of Suffolk?
Everywhere in the UK, Martlesham Heath included. Travel is included in the price.
Do I need to empty the worktop?
Only around the repair. You can generally still use the rest of the kitchen.
Do you work in Martlesham Heath?
We do. We send a technician to Martlesham Heath for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Work for landlords and builders
For anyone letting property in or around Martlesham Heath, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.
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.
Do you need worktop repair in Martlesham Heath?
Sink and hob cut-outs are weak points, so cracks and chips frequently start there.

- Knife marks
- Dents and gouges
- Scorch marks from pans
- Snagging damage in a new kitchen
What to look for in a quote
- Aftercare advice
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Solid surface
Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so marks can frequently be sanded and refinished.
Laminate
Laminate is a printed surface bonded to a board. Damage is filled and the pattern painted in by hand.
The process
We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours, depending on the damage. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- We protect the rest of the kitchen.
- The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
- It’s filled and levelled with the surface.
- The colour and pattern are built up by hand.
- The repair is sealed and polished to match.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Get a quote
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Repair or replace in Martlesham Heath?
Replacing even one length of worktop means templating, cutting, fitting and frequently a new sink and hob connection. A repair is a few hours with everything left in place. Our worktop repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
