How we price worktop repair
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many areas need work
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Send photos for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One picture of the entire worktop
- Where you are, by postcode
- What it’s made of, if you know
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Worktop repair in Pityme without replacing anything
Burns from hot pans, chips on edges and scratches from knives are the most common worktop repairs. We repair them all in your kitchen. If you are dealing with a damaged sink edge and a heat mark or burn, we can help, on solid surface (such as Corian), granite & marble and laminate alike.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

For landlords and businesses
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Do not leave spills to soak in
- Watch the edges with heavy pans
- Re-oil timber worktops
- Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.
Do not leave damage by the sink, as water can get in and cause swelling.
Common problems we fix in Pityme
Water around the sink can get into laminate and wood joints, and that can make them swell.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Damage around the sink cut-out
- Cuts and scratches in the surface
- Burns from hot pans
- Chips in quartz or granite
Questions to ask before booking
- How the colour is matched
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- If travel is included in the price
- When it can be used again
Questions from Pityme
Can you repair a burn in a worktop?
Often, yes. The burn is cut back, filled and patterned to match.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
How much do I need to move?
Just near the damage. You can generally still use the rest of the kitchen.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can you match the pattern on my worktop?
Colour, flecks and veins are recreated by hand, for a repair that blends in.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Repairing versus replacing in Pityme
If the worktop is swollen by water or badly damaged along its length, replacement may be the answer. For chips, burns and scratches, repair is normally far better value. Our worktop repair starts from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

What we do, step by step
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First we look at the damage and what the worktop is made of.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
How to get a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
