How we price worktop repair

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Access to the area
  • The material

A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The material, if you know it
  • One picture of the entire worktop
  • Where you are, by postcode

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the worktop, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Worktop repair in Medstead, done in place

A worktop repair is carried out in your kitchen. Most jobs take a few hours, and you can use the worktop again shortly afterwards. We’re often asked to fix scorch marks from pans and damage from fitting or building work, in quartz, granite & marble and laminate.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

How to look after the repair

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Keep a trivet by the hob
  • Steer clear of strong cleaners
  • Do not cut directly on the worktop
  • Do not leave spills to soak in

Let the repair cure for the time we give you before putting anything heavy or hot on it. After that, trivets and chopping boards protect it best.

Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, as water can get in and cause swelling.

What we do, step by step

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on the damage, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
  2. We cut back any burnt or loose material.
  3. The area is filled and shaped.
  4. We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
  5. It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Medstead: your questions answered

Can you match granite flecks?

Yes. We recreate the pattern by hand so it blends in.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Can you quote from photos?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

What does worktop repair cost?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

What happens next?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Our hiring checklist

Different materials, different repairs

Wood

Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, and burns and dents repaired.

Solid surface

Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so marks can frequently be sanded and refinished.

Repair or replace: which is better?

If the worktop is swollen by water or badly damaged along its length, replacement may be the answer. For chips, burns and scratches, a repair is the better value. Our worktop repair starts from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
