Should you replace it?

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. Our worktop repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

  • No need to remove anything
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

How to look after the repair

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Oil wooden tops regularly
  • Wipe up spills quickly
  • Always use a trivet for hot pans
  • Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz

Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, particularly with laminate and timber.

Daily use can make burns and chips worse. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.

What your worktop is made of matters

Quartz

Quartz worktops are mostly stone set in resin. Edge chips are very common, and we fill and polish them to match the sheen.

Laminate

A laminate worktop is a thin decorative layer on a board. Damage is filled and the pattern painted in by hand.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Quotes from your photos

Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A wider photo showing the whole worktop
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

For a price in Poverest, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

The process

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. You can expect it to take a few hours, depending on the damage.

  1. The area around the damage is protected.
  2. We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
  3. We fill it and level it with the worktop.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal and polish it to the right sheen.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Ask for a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Advice

What a repair cannot fix

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
  • Cracks right through stone that has moved
  • Discolouration deep in quartz

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we repair

  • Quartz
  • Solid surface (such as Corian)
  • Granite & marble
  • Laminate
  • Solid wood

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Poverest use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

Common questions in Poverest

What areas do you cover?

The whole UK, including all of Greater London. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.

Will the repair match a patterned worktop?

Yes, the pattern is built up by hand so it blends in.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole worktop and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
