How we price worktop repair

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many items we do on one visit

We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Send pictures for a quote

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • One picture of the entire worktop
  • Any details about the material
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Worktop repair in Monkton without replacing anything

We repair worktops in place, with the area around the damage covered. Most repairs take a few hours, and the worktop can be used again soon after. We work on laminate, solid wood and quartz, and common reasons people contact us are chips on edges and corners and damage around the sink cut-out.

All our work comes with a one-year guarantee.

FAQs for Monkton

Can you repair a burn in a worktop?

Typically, yes. The burn is cut back, filled and patterned to match.

Can you match the pattern on my worktop?

Yes. We recreate the pattern by hand so it blends in.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

What information do you need?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Kent.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Is there a call-out fee?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing even one length of worktop means templating, cutting, fitting and often a new sink and hob connection. A repair takes a few hours and leaves everything in place. Prices start from £95. 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. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Repairs by material

Granite and stone

Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.

Solid surface

Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so scratches and burns can frequently be sanded out and refinished.

How to look after the repair

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Clean spills straight away
  • Don’t cut directly on the worktop
  • Oil wooden tops regularly
  • Watch the edges with heavy pans

Keep joints and the sink edge dry, especially on laminate and wood.

Daily use can make burns and chips worse. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.

What we can’t put right

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • Through cracks in stone that is moving
  • A top that moves on its units
  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Materials we work on in Monkton

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

What we do, step by step

We begin by going over the job with you. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
  2. The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
  3. We fill it and level it with the worktop.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal and polish it to the right sheen.

How to prepare

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
