What worktop repair costs
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- The material and finish
- The colour and finish to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Send photos for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- A wider photo showing the whole worktop
- Something in shot to show the size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The material, if you know it
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
Work for landlords and builders
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Monk Street use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Repair or replace: which is better?
An identical replacement may look different next to aged worktops. We match the repair to your worktop as it is today. Prices start from £95. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.

Common questions in Monk Street
How much do I need to move?
Only around the repair. You can normally still use the rest of the kitchen.
Can you repair a burn in a worktop?
Typically. A photo lets us check what’s possible.
Do you come to Monk Street?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Monk Street. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
What happens next?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
When can you do it?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Can you match the pattern on my worktop?
Colour, flecks and veins are recreated by hand, for a repair that blends in.
When a repair isn’t the answer
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- A top that moves on its units
- Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
- Cracks right through stone that has moved
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
What we work on
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Laminate
- Quartz
- Solid wood
- Granite & marble
Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Dry around the sink and joints
- Do not cut directly on the worktop
- Never put hot pans down directly
- Steer clear of strong cleaners
Keep joints and the sink edge dry, especially on laminate and wood.
Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, as water can get in and cause swelling.
