What worktop repair costs
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- How hard the colour is to match
- What kind of damage it is
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material
Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from pictures
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A wider photo showing the whole worktop
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
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, repair is typically far better value. Our worktop repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Melling. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How the visit works
Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage, 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.
- The area is cleaned and the edges of the damage prepared.
- We fill with a filler suited to the material and rebuild any missing edge.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- The surface is sealed or finished to suit the worktop.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Getting a price

DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What we cannot put right
A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
- Cracks right through stone that has moved
- Discolouration deep in quartz
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Materials we repair
- Quartz
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Granite & marble
- Solid wood
- Laminate
Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Keep joints and edges dry
- Always use a trivet for hot pans
- Clean spills immediately
- Don’t knock pans against the edge
Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe spills immediately, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.
Daily use can make burns and chips worse, especially near the sink. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.
