What worktop repair costs

Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The size and number of damaged areas

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Quotes from your photos

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • The material, if you know it
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Upload photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your KW17 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Repairing versus replacing in Orphir

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Orphir: your questions answered

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.

How much do I need to move?

Only the area we are working on. We protect the rest of the kitchen.

Can you match granite flecks?

Yes. We recreate the pattern by hand.

Can a scorch mark be fixed?

Typically. Send us a photo and we will tell you.

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Different materials, different repairs

Solid surface

Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so scratches and burns can frequently be sanded out and refinished.

Granite and stone

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

What happens on the day

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, tidy-up included.

  1. We assess the damage and the worktop material.
  2. Next we clean up and prepare the damaged area.
  3. We fill the damage with a suitable filler and build up any lost edge.
  4. The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
  5. Finally we seal or finish the area to match.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

How to look after the repair

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Don’t cut directly on the worktop
  • Take care with heavy pans near edges
  • Do not leave spills to soak in
  • Oil wooden tops regularly

Keep joints and the sink edge dry, especially on laminate and wood.

Edge chips can get bigger, and on laminate, water can get into the core. An early repair prevents it.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
