What worktop repair costs
Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Merton. The price depends on:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material
- How hard the colour is to match
- Doing more than one item at once
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Quotes from your pictures
Phone photos are fine. Ensure they show:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Natural light rather than flash
If you are in Merton and want a price, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

FAQs for Merton
Do you cover Merton?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Merton from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Solid surface
Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so scratches and burns can frequently be sanded out and refinished.
Laminate
Laminate is a printed surface bonded to a board. We fill damage and paint in the pattern by hand.
DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
When a repair is not the answer
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:
- Water-swollen laminate
- Failed support under the worktop
- Through cracks in stone that is moving
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we work on in Merton
- Quartz
- Laminate
- Granite & marble
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Solid wood
Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Chopping boards prevent scratches
- Re-oil timber worktops
- Do not knock pans against the edge
- Keep joints and edges dry
Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.
Don’t leave damage by the sink, as water can get in and cause swelling.
