How we price worktop repair

Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • The type of damage
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material

There are no surprise 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.

Send photos for a quote

Phone photos are fine. Just ensure we can see:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A wider photo showing the entire worktop
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

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.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Merlin's Bridge

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Merlin's Bridge use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

What we do, step by step

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. First we look at the damage and what the worktop is made of.
  2. We clean the area and prepare the edges of the damage.
  3. We fill the damage with a suitable filler and build up any lost edge.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal or finish the area to match.

How to prepare

  • Open a window if you can
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Looking after it afterwards

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Don’t cut directly on the worktop
  • Oil wooden tops regularly
  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
  • Keep a trivet by the hob

Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe up spills promptly, and keep wooden tops oiled.

Don’t leave damage by the sink, because water gets in and swells the board.

Different materials, different repairs

Quartz

Quartz is hard, but its edges are brittle. We fill chips with a tinted resin and polish them to the worktop’s finish.

Granite and stone

Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.

Signs you need worktop repair in Merlin's Bridge

Cut-outs for the sink and hob are the weakest parts, and that is where cracks frequently begin.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • Gouges in the surface
  • Scratches and knife marks
  • Chips on edges and corners
  • Chips in quartz or granite

When we’d advise against a repair

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
  • Failed support under the worktop
  • Cracks right through stone that has moved

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

  • Granite & marble
  • Solid surface (such as Corian)
  • Laminate
  • Solid wood
  • Quartz

Common questions in Merlin's Bridge

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Can you match granite flecks?

We match colour, flecks and veining by hand, so the repair blends into the surface.

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Do you charge for travel?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

What happens next?

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