What worktop repair costs
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material
- What kind of damage it is
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.
How to get a fixed quote
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A wider photo showing the whole worktop
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Where you are, by postcode
- The material, if you know it
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.
Questions from Middlestone Moor

Common problems we fix in Middlestone Moor
Most worktop damage takes a second: a hot pan put down without a trivet, or a heavy pan knocked against the edge. Scratches build up gradually from knives and grit.
Common reasons people in Middlestone Moor contact us include:
- A dent from a dropped pan
- Damage from fitting or building work
- A damaged sink edge
- Scratches and knife marks
Questions to ask before you book
- How long it needs to cure
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
What a repair can’t fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
- Water-swollen laminate
- Discolouration deep in quartz
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
What we work on
- Granite & marble
- Laminate
- Quartz
- Solid wood
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
