How we price worktop repair
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material and finish
- The type of damage
- The colour and finish to match
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Pontyates. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Common questions in Pontyates
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Do you charge for travel?

Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

- We assess the damage and the worktop material.
- We clean the area and prepare the edges of the damage.
- A filler that suits the material goes in, and missing edges are rebuilt.
- We match the colour and pattern by hand.
- Finally we seal or finish the area to match.
How to prepare
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Even a single new length of worktop means templating, cutting and refitting the sink and hob. A repair takes a few hours and leaves everything in place. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Dry around the sink and joints
- Don’t leave spills to soak in
- Re-oil timber worktops
- Always use a trivet for hot pans
Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe up spills promptly, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.
A chip on an edge can grow, and water can reach the core of laminate. Repairing it early stops that.
