Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many items we do on one visit
- How much damage there is
- How easy the damage is to reach
We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Quotes from your pictures
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The material, if you know it
- One picture of the entire worktop
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.
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 isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.

When we’d advise against a repair
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- Through cracks in stone that is moving
- Water-swollen laminate
- Discolouration deep in quartz
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Solid wood
- Laminate
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Quartz
- Granite & marble
Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
- Always use a trivet for hot pans
- Chopping boards prevent scratches
- Re-oil timber worktops
Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.
Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, because water gets in and swells the board.
Repairing versus replacing in Meriden
Replacing a worktop means taking out the damaged top, templating and fitting a replacement 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. 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.
Why us?
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- Fixed prices from your pictures

Advice
Meriden: your questions answered
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
Can you repair a burn in a worktop?
Typically, yes. We remove the damaged surface, fill it and recreate the pattern.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Do you cover the whole of Hertfordshire?
Everywhere in the UK, Meriden included. There’s no extra charge for travel.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire worktop and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
What happens after I send photos?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Can you match granite flecks?
Yes, the pattern is built up by hand.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
