About our worktop repair in Merlin's Cross

A worktop repair is carried out in your kitchen, with the rest of the kitchen protected. Most repairs take a few hours, and the worktop can be used again soon after. Common call-outs are for scratches and knife marks and chips caused during installation, on solid surface (such as Corian), granite & marble and solid wood.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

When we would advise against a repair

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Through cracks in stone that is moving

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

How do I book?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

Will you leave a mess?

What worktop repair costs

Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How much damage there is

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Send pictures for a quote

Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. It helps if you send:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any details about the material
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
