Signs you need worktop repair in Old
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 are called about are:
- Scorch marks from pans
- Chips in quartz or granite
- Chips caused during installation
- Chipped corners

What worktop repair costs
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What the surface is made of
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether we combine several jobs
We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Quotes from your pictures
Phone photos are fine. Just ensure we can see:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
For a price in Old, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
For landlords and businesses
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Old as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
For anyone letting property in or around Old, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing even one length of worktop means templating, cutting, fitting and frequently a new sink and hob connection. A repair is a few hours with everything left in place. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Why Old customers choose us
- Colour-matched on site
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- Normally one visit, start to finish
- We leave the room as we found it

When we would advise against a repair
A repair is not right for every job, for example:
- Laminate that has blown or swollen
- A cracked stone top that is unsupported
- A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Steer clear of strong cleaners
- Do not leave spills to soak in
- Use a chopping board
- Do not knock pans against the edge
Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe spills straight away, and keep wooden tops oiled.
Daily use can make burns and chips worse particularly around the sink. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Solid surface
Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so scratches and burns can frequently be sanded out and refinished.
Wood
Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, and burns and dents repaired.
Common questions in Old
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Do you come to Old?
We do. We send a technician to Old for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
The process
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- We start by checking the damage and the worktop material.
- Next we clean up and prepare the damaged area.
- A filler that suits the material goes in, and missing edges are rebuilt.
- We match the colour and pattern by hand.
- The surface is sealed or finished to suit the worktop.
How to prepare
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
