What worktop repair costs
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
How to get a fixed price
You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A photo taken from further back
- Details of any past repairs
- Natural light rather than flash
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Honest limits
A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- Laminate that has blown or swollen
- Failed support under the worktop
- Discolouration deep in quartz
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Laminate
- Granite & marble
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Solid wood
- Quartz

What we do, step by step
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We start by checking the damage and the worktop material.
- Next we clean up and prepare the damaged area.
- A filler that suits the material goes in, and missing edges are rebuilt.
- The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
- We seal or finish the surface to suit the worktop.
Before we arrive
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
Ask for a price
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Advice
For landlords and businesses
If you manage property in Sandford St Martin, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Oxfordshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
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.
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple:
- Oil wooden tops regularly
- Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
- Always use a trivet for hot pans
- Take care with heavy pans near edges
Leave the repaired area free of hot or heavy items until it has cured. After that, trivets and chopping boards protect it best.
Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, as water can get in and cause swelling.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Stone and quartz tops are templated and cut to fit, so replacing a section takes time and money. A repair takes a few hours. Our worktop repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
