What worktop repair costs
Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Porcupine. The price comes down to:
- How many items we do on one visit
- What the surface is made of
- Access to the area
- What kind of damage it is
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Send pictures for a quote
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- The material, if you know it
- A photo taken from further back
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Most customers in Porcupine get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Severe heat marks in quartz
- Failed support under the worktop
- Water-swollen laminate

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
Signs you need worktop repair in Porcupine
The worst damage frequently happens in a moment: a hot pan put down without a trivet, or a heavy pan knocked against the edge. Scratches build up gradually from knives and grit.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- Chips in quartz or granite
- Chipped corners
- Knife marks
- A damaged sink edge

- Whether they match the colour on site

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Solid surface
Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so marks can frequently be sanded and refinished.
Quartz
Quartz is crushed stone bound with resin. Edge chips are very common, and we fill and polish them to match the sheen.
Questions from Porcupine
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do you cover Porcupine?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Porcupine from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.
Are you accredited?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
Do you repair quartz?
Yes. We repair quartz chips regularly, matched and polished.
What happens on the day
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. It usually takes a morning or an afternoon, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
- We cut back any burnt or loose material.
- We fill and shape the damaged area.
- The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
- We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire worktop, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Advice
Repair or replace: which is better?
Even a single new length of worktop means templating, cutting and refitting the sink and hob. A repair is a few hours with everything left in place. Our worktop repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.
