Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
Repair or replace: which is better?
An identical replacement may look different next to aged worktops. We match the repair to your worktop as it is today. Our worktop repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

What worktop repair costs
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The colour and finish to match
- How much damage there is
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Ratley. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
How to get a fixed quote
Phone pictures are fine. Ensure they show:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
Ratley: your questions answered
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Can you match the pattern on my worktop?
Yes. We recreate the pattern by hand.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Do you repair quartz?
Yes. We repair quartz chips regularly, filled and polished to match.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

What else we do in Ratley
Different materials, different repairs
Wood
Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, and burns and dents repaired.
Quartz
Quartz worktops are mostly stone set in resin. We fill and polish chipped edges.
What a repair cannot fix
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Laminate that has blown or swollen
- Severe heat marks in quartz
- A top that moves on its units
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair
- Quartz
- Solid wood
- Laminate
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Granite & marble
For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
How it works
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 work takes a few hours, depending on the damage, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We start by checking the damage and the worktop material.
- Next we clean up and prepare the damaged area.
- We fill with a filler suited to the material and rebuild any missing edge.
- The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
- We seal or finish the surface to suit the worktop.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Open a window if you can

How to care for the repair
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Use a chopping board
- Take care with heavy pans near edges
- Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
- Never put hot pans down directly
Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.
Edge chips can get bigger, and water can reach the core of laminate. An early repair prevents it.
