How we price worktop repair
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Poets Estate. What changes the price is:
- What the surface is made of
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether we combine several jobs
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
How to get a fixed price
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Where you are, by postcode
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.

DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Common problems we fix in Poets Estate
Around the sink, water gets into joints on laminate and wood, which can cause swelling.
People generally call us after spotting one of these:
- A dent from a dropped pan
- Snagging damage in a new kitchen
- A heat mark or burn
- A chipped quartz edge
What your quote should include
- What aftercare is recommended
- What happens if they find more damage
- What preparation is included
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
Repairs by material
Granite and stone
Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.
Quartz
Quartz is hard, but its edges are brittle. We fill chips with a tinted resin and polish them.
How the visit works
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a few hours. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We start by checking the damage and the worktop material.
- Next we clean up and prepare the damaged area.
- We fill the damage with a suitable filler and build up any lost edge.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- The surface is sealed or finished to suit the worktop.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Let us know about parking or access

Poets Estate: your questions answered
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
What does worktop repair cost?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
Which areas do you work in?
All of Hertfordshire, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

Yes. We recreate the pattern by hand.
Do you cover Poets Estate?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Poets Estate and the rest of Hertfordshire. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
How much do I need to move?
Only the area we’re working on. The rest is covered and protected.
Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
- Keep wood oiled
- Clean spills right away
- Use a chopping board
Leave the repaired area free of hot or heavy items until it has cured. After that, trivets and chopping boards are your best protection.
Daily use can make burns and chips worse, especially near the sink. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.
