How we price worktop repair
Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The colour and finish to match
- How many items we do on one visit
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Nettlestead. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A wider photo showing the whole worktop
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Where you are, by postcode
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a worktop means taking out the damaged top, cutting and fitting a new one and refitting the sink and hob, and it may not match the rest of the kitchen. A repair keeps your existing worktop. Prices start from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Common problems we fix in Nettlestead
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 more slowly, from knives and grit.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Dents and gouges
- Damage to a stone worktop
- Chips near the sink
- A heat mark or burn
Questions to ask before you book
- How long it needs to cure
- How to care for the finish
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
What your worktop is made of matters
Wood
Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, with burns and dents put right.
Quartz
Quartz is crushed stone bound with resin. We fill and polish chipped edges.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
What we can’t put right
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Severe heat marks in quartz
- A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
- A cracked stone top that is unsupported
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Laminate
- Quartz
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Granite & marble
- Solid wood

Common questions in Nettlestead
What happens after I send pictures?

What does worktop repair cost?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your IP8 postcode.
Is repairing better than replacing?
