Why repair rather than replace?
A new worktop means taking out the damaged top, templating and fitting a replacement and reconnecting the sink and hob, and matching the rest of the kitchen can be hard. A repair keeps your existing worktop. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Keep a trivet by the hob
- Re-oil timber worktops
- Use a chopping board
- Do not leave spills to soak in
Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe spills straight away, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.
Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, because water gets in and swells the board.
Common questions in Poltesco
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Will the repair match a patterned worktop?
Yes, the pattern is built up by hand.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Poltesco
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Poltesco as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
What worktop repair costs
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Doing more than one item at once
- How much damage there is
- What the surface is made of
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. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. It helps if you send:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A wider photo showing the whole worktop
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Common problems we fix in Poltesco
Worktops take more punishment than anything else in the kitchen. Hot pans leave burns, knives leave scratches, and edges chip when heavy pans or tins hit them.
Most people contact us after spotting one of these:
- Scratches and knife marks
- Chips in quartz or granite
- Damage from fitting or building work
- Gouges in the surface
Before booking anyone
- How long it needs to cure
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- How your room will be protected
DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
How it works
Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a morning or an afternoon. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and how to look after it.
- The area around the damage is protected.
- We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
- We fill it and level it with the worktop.
- The colour and pattern are built up by hand.
- We seal and polish it to the right sheen.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Getting a price
To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.
