DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
How we price worktop repair
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Access to the area
- Doing more than one item at once
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Quotes from your pictures
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- One picture of the entire worktop
- Any details about the material
- Natural light rather than flash
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
For a price in Nethermill, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Clean spills straight away
- Keep joints and edges dry
- Steer clear of strong cleaners
- Do not knock pans against the edge
Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, especially on laminate and wood.
Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, because water gets in and swells the board.
Honest limits
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
- Water-swollen laminate
- Through cracks in stone that is moving
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
