What your worktop is made of matters
Laminate
Laminate worktops have a printed decorative layer over a board core. We fill the damage and recreate the pattern by hand.
Quartz
Quartz is hard, but its edges are brittle. We fill chips with a tinted resin and polish them.
Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

How to look after the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Use a chopping board
- Dry around the sink and joints
- Always use a trivet for hot pans
- Oil wooden tops regularly
Let the repair cure for the time we give you before putting anything heavy or hot on it. After that, trivets and chopping boards protect it best.
Do not leave damage by the sink, because water gets in and swells the board.
Why repair rather than replace?
Swollen or badly damaged laminate may need replacing. For chips, burns and scratches, a repair is the better value. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
When a repair isn’t the answer
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Through cracks in stone that is moving
- A top that moves on its units
- Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Solid wood
- Granite & marble
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Quartz
- Laminate
What worktop repair costs
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material and finish
- What kind of damage it is
A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your photos
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- One picture of the entire worktop
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.
Redbourn questions
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
How much does worktop repair cost in Redbourn?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Will the repair match a patterned worktop?
Colour, flecks and veins are recreated by hand, so the repair blends into the surface.
Can you quote from photos?
Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Is a burnt worktop repairable?
In most cases. A picture lets us check.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
