Repair or replace: which is better?
A new worktop means removing the old one, cutting and fitting a new one and refitting the sink and hob, and it may not match the rest of the kitchen. Repairing the damage keeps your existing worktop. Our worktop repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
How we price worktop repair
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- The material and finish
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The size and number of damaged areas
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Getting a price from photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A photo taken from further back
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
If you are in Oakwood and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff:
- Re-oil timber worktops
- Do not leave spills to soak in
- Dry around the sink and joints
- Keep a trivet by the hob
Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.
A chip on an edge can grow, and on laminate, water can get into the core. Repairing it early stops that.
Common questions in Oakwood
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Can you match granite flecks?
Yes, the pattern is built up by hand so it blends in.
Can you repair a burn in a worktop?
In most cases. Send us a picture and we will tell you what’s possible.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so scratches and burns can often be sanded out and refinished.

Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.
