Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- The type of damage
- How many items we do on one visit
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Access to the area
We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
How to get a fixed price
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A photo taken from further back
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any details about the material
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire worktop, we can give you a fixed price.
What we’re called out for in Orton
Around the sink, water gets into joints on laminate and wood, which can cause swelling.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Chipped corners
- Snagging damage in a new kitchen
- A chipped quartz edge
- Burns from hot pans
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- How the room is protected while they work
How to care for the repair
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Watch the edges with heavy pans
- Never put hot pans down directly
- Don’t leave spills to soak in
- Oil wooden tops regularly
Keep joints and the sink edge dry, especially on laminate and wood.
Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, because water gets in and swells the board.
Your questions about worktop repair in Orton
How much do I need to move?
Just near the damage. You can usually still use the rest of the kitchen.
Can you repair a burn in a worktop?
Usually, yes. We remove the damaged surface, fill it and recreate the pattern.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
When we’d advise against a repair
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Cracks right through stone that has moved
- Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
- A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
Materials we repair
- Granite & marble
- Solid wood
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Quartz
- Laminate
Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
Should you replace it?
Even if you could get the same laminate, it may not match after years of light and use. We match the repair to your worktop as it is today. Our worktop repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

What your worktop is made of matters
Solid surface
Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so scratches and burns can frequently be sanded out and refinished.
Laminate
Laminate worktops have a printed decorative layer over a board core. We fill the damage and recreate the pattern by hand.
