How we price worktop repair
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many items we do on one visit
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material and finish
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
Quotes from your photos
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A picture taken from further back
- One sharp close-up of the damage
For a price in Meal Bank, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
How we handle worktop repair in Meal Bank
Each type of worktop needs a different approach: laminate is filled and patterned, quartz and stone are filled and polished, and wood is sanded and refinished. The goal is always a repair that blends in. We’re frequently asked to fix chips on edges and corners and a damaged sink edge, on solid wood, quartz and laminate.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back.

Honest limits
A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- Discolouration deep in quartz
- Laminate swollen by water from underneath
- A top that moves on its units
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
What we work on
- Solid wood
- Solid surface (such as Corian)

The process
Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We start by checking the damage and the worktop material.
- We clean the area and prepare the edges of the damage.
- A filler that suits the material goes in, and missing edges are rebuilt.
- The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
- The surface is sealed or finished to suit the worktop.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

Work for landlords and builders
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Cumbria and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Wipe up spills quickly
- Do not cut directly on the worktop
- Steer clear of strong cleaners
- Keep a trivet by the hob
Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.
Do not leave damage by the sink, because water gets in and swells the board.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
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 then the old filler has to be removed first.
