What worktop repair costs

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • The material and finish
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Minchinhampton. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Quotes from your photos

Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A wider photo showing the whole worktop

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Your questions about worktop repair in Minchinhampton

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Do you work in Minchinhampton?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Minchinhampton. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What happens if you find more damage?

Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.

Can you price it without visiting?

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

Common problems we fix in Minchinhampton

The worst damage frequently happens in a moment: a hot pan put down without a trivet, or a heavy pan knocked against the edge. Scratches build up more slowly, from knives and grit.

People typically call us when they notice one of these:

  • Scratches and knife marks
  • Chips in quartz or granite
  • A damaged sink edge
  • Dents and gouges

Questions to ask before you book

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What preparation is included
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

Choosing a repair company

Looking after it afterwards

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Dry around the sink and joints
  • Oil wooden tops regularly
  • Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
  • Chopping boards prevent scratches

Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.

Edge chips can get bigger, and water can reach the core of laminate. An early repair prevents it.

What happens on the day

Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
  2. Burnt or loose material is cut back.
  3. We fill and shape the damaged area.
  4. We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
  5. We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Ask for a price

Send us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, with your GL6 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Work for landlords and builders

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Gloucestershire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Minchinhampton use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a 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. Repairing the damage leaves the worktop in place. Prices start from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

Honest limits

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Through cracks in stone that is moving
  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath
  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed

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

Materials we repair

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
