How we price worktop repair

Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Saltersgill. The price reflects:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed price

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Different materials, different repairs

Laminate

Laminate is a printed surface over a board. We fill the damage and recreate the pattern.

Solid surface

Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so scratches and burns can often be sanded out and refinished.

How it works

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, tidy-up included.

  1. First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
  2. Burnt or loose material is cut back.
  3. We fill and shape the damaged area.
  4. The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
  5. We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.

How to prepare

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Saltersgill questions

How do I book?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Do you charge for travel?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

What does worktop repair cost?

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item and your postcode.

Can you repair a chipped quartz worktop?

Yes. The repair is colour matched and polished to the quartz’s finish.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.

Work for landlords and builders

If you manage property in Saltersgill, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

When to call us in Saltersgill

The worst damage frequently happens in a moment: a hot pan put down without a trivet, or a heavy pan knocked against the edge. Scratches build up more slowly, from knives and grit.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Knife marks
  • Chips near the sink
  • Gouges in the surface
  • Chipped corners

Questions to ask before booking

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • When it can be used again
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

Our hiring checklist

Keeping it looking good

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Keep wood oiled
  • Keep joints and edges dry
  • Always use a trivet for hot pans
  • Take care with heavy pans near edges

Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.

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

Honest limits

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath
  • Cracks right through stone that has moved
  • A top that moves on its units

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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

Repair or replace in Saltersgill?

Swollen or badly damaged laminate may need replacing. For chips, burns and scratches, repair is usually far better value. Prices start from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
