Repair or replace: which is better?
A new worktop means removing the old one, templating and fitting a replacement and refitting the sink and hob, and matching the rest of the kitchen can be hard. A repair keeps your existing worktop. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

What else we do in Mickley
DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

How we price worktop repair
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- How many areas need work
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Getting a price from pictures
You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- Any details about the material
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A wider photo showing the entire worktop
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price.
Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best:
- Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
- Dry around the sink and joints
- Clean spills immediately
- Do not cut directly on the worktop
Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.
A chip on an edge can grow, and on laminate, water can get into the core. Repairing it early stops that.
What your worktop is made of matters
Granite and stone
Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.
Laminate
A laminate worktop is a thin decorative layer on a board. We fill damage and paint in the pattern by hand.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Mickley
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
When a repair is not the answer
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- Laminate swollen by water from underneath
- Through cracks in stone that is moving
- A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Materials we work on in Mickley
- Laminate
- Quartz
- Solid wood
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
