How we price worktop repair
Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for North Close. The price reflects:
- What kind of damage it is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How much damage there is
- Unusual colours or finishes
A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your photos
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Natural light rather than flash
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the worktop, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
What a repair cannot fix
We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
- Laminate that has blown or swollen
- Failed support under the worktop
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we work on in North Close

Do you need worktop repair in North Close?
Cut-outs for the sink and hob are the weakest parts, so cracks and chips often start there.
Look out for these signs:
- Chips caused during installation
- Damage around the sink cut-out
- Gouges in the surface
- Cuts and scratches in the surface
What to look for in a quote
- What aftercare is recommended
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- How changes to the job are handled
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Watch the edges with heavy pans
- Don’t cut directly on the worktop
- Keep a trivet by the hob
- Do not leave spills to soak in
Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe up spills promptly, and keep wooden tops oiled.
A chip on an edge can grow, and on laminate, water can get into the core. Repairing it early stops that.

How the visit works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a few hours, depending on the damage from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to look after it.
- We assess the damage and the worktop material.
- We clean the area and prepare the edges of the damage.
- We fill with a filler suited to the material and rebuild any missing edge.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- The surface is sealed or finished to suit the worktop.
Before we arrive
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Ask for a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Laminate
A laminate worktop is a thin decorative layer on a board. Damage is filled and the pattern painted in by hand.
Solid surface
Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so marks can frequently be sanded and refinished.
Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
