How it works
Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, depending on the damage, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
- Burnt or loose material is cut back.
- We fill and shape the damaged area.
- We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
- We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Ensure the area is dry
- Let us know about parking or access

Advice
Repair or replace: which is better?
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. Our worktop repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Plaidy. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Work for landlords and builders
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Keep wood oiled
- Steer clear of strong cleaners
- Don’t let water sit on joints
- Keep a trivet by the hob
Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, especially on laminate and wood.
A chip on an edge can grow, and on laminate, water can get into the core. Repairing it early stops that.
FAQs for Plaidy
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Can you price it without visiting?
Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
What does worktop repair cost?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
What affects the price in Plaidy
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Access to the area
A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from photos
Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- One picture of the whole worktop
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any details about the material
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
If you’re in Plaidy and want a price, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
