How we price worktop repair
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The colour and finish to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed price
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A wider photo showing the entire worktop
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
For a price in River, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
What happens on the day
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- The area around the damage is protected.
- The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
- We fill it and level it with the worktop.
- The colour and pattern are built up by hand.
- We seal and polish it to the right sheen.
How to prepare
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Point us to the nearest place to park

Repairing versus replacing in River
Replacing a worktop means removing the old one, cutting and fitting a new one and reconnecting the sink and hob, and it may not match the rest of the kitchen. Repairing the damage leaves the worktop in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for River. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can you repair a burn in a worktop?
In most cases. Send us a photo and we’ll tell you.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

What information do you need?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

How to look after the repair
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Always use a trivet for hot pans
- Do not cut directly on the worktop
- Take care with heavy pans near edges
- Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
Let the repair cure for the time we give you before putting anything heavy or hot on it. After that, trivets and chopping boards are your best protection.
Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, because water gets in and swells the board.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
