DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
Worktop repair in Saltley without replacing anything
A new worktop rarely matches the old one, especially in an L-shaped or long kitchen. A repair leaves the kitchen untouched. Typical jobs include chips caused during installation and a damaged sink edge, across laminate, granite & marble and solid surface (such as Corian).
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

What worktop repair costs
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The type of damage
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What the surface is made of
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. Try to include:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any details about the material
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A photo taken from further back
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
Repair or replace in Saltley?
Replacing a worktop means removing the old one, cutting and fitting a new one and reconnecting the sink and hob, and matching the rest of the kitchen can be hard. A repair keeps your existing worktop. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Quartz
Quartz worktops are mostly stone set in resin. We fill and polish chipped edges.
Laminate
Laminate is a printed surface bonded to a board. Damage is filled and the pattern painted in by hand.

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which typically takes a few hours, depending on the damage. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
- Burnt or loose material is cut back.

Common questions in Saltley
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.
Do you need worktop repair in Saltley?
Water around the sink can get into laminate and wood joints, which can cause swelling.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- A damaged sink edge
- Chips caused during installation
- Chips on edges and corners
- Burns from hot pans
