The process
Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First we look at the damage and what the worktop is made of.
- We clean the area and prepare the edges of the damage.
- A filler that suits the material goes in, and missing edges are rebuilt.
- The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
- We seal or finish the surface to suit the worktop.
How to prepare
- Open a window if you can
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Questions from Privett
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
How much do I need to move?
Only the area we are working on. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Can you repair a burn in a worktop?
Generally. Send us a picture and we’ll tell you what’s possible.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
How much does worktop repair cost in Privett?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK, so Privett is covered. Prices don’t change with location.
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Take care with heavy pans near edges
- Dry around the sink and joints
- Oil wooden tops regularly
- Keep a trivet by the hob
Leave the repaired area free of hot or heavy items until it has cured. After that, trivets and chopping boards are your best protection.
Edge chips can get bigger, and water can reach the core of laminate. Repairing it early stops that.
What worktop repair costs
Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Privett. The price depends on:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What kind of damage it is
- The material and finish
- How many areas need work
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
How to get a fixed quote
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Something in shot to show the size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price.
Should you replace it?
Stone and quartz tops are templated and cut to fit, so replacing one section is a big job. A repair takes a few hours. Our worktop repair starts from £95. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
