How we price worktop repair

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Semer. The price reflects:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How much damage there is
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material and finish

Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Quotes from your photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The material, if you know it
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Details of any past repairs

For a price in Semer, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

The process

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which generally takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We assess the damage and the worktop material.
  2. We clean the area and prepare the edges of the damage.
  3. A filler that suits the material goes in, and missing edges are rebuilt.
  4. The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
  5. The surface is sealed or finished to suit the worktop.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Ask for a price

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

How to care for the repair

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Never put hot pans down directly
  • Watch the edges with heavy pans
  • Clean spills straight away
  • Do not cut directly on the worktop

Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, particularly with laminate and timber.

A chip on an edge can grow, and on laminate, water can get into the core. An early repair prevents it.

Repairs by material

Solid surface

Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so marks can frequently be sanded and refinished.

Quartz

Quartz is crushed stone bound with resin. We fill and polish chipped edges to match the sheen.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

What we cannot put right

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • Cracks right through stone that has moved
  • A top that moves on its units
  • Discolouration deep in quartz

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

What we work on

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

Semer: your questions answered

Can you repair a chipped quartz worktop?

Yes. We match the colour and polish the repair.

Do you come to Semer?

We do. We send a technician to Semer for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

What happens after I send photos?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Do I need to be at home?

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

Do I need to clear the kitchen?

Just near the damage. You can usually still use the rest of the kitchen.
