How we price worktop repair

Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Shepherd's Green. The price comes down to:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Getting a price from pictures

You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Something in shot to show the size

Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Shepherd's Green, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Repairing versus replacing in Shepherd's Green

Even if you could get the same laminate, it may not match after years of light and use. A repair is matched to what you have now. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

What you get with us

  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • Same prices wherever you are

Work for landlords and builders

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll arrange it.

If you manage property in Shepherd's Green, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

How it works

You do not need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. It usually takes a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
  2. Burnt or loose material is cut back.
  3. We fill and shape the damaged area.
  4. We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
  5. It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Do you need worktop repair in Shepherd's Green?

Around the sink, water gets into joints on laminate and wood, and that can make them swell.

  • Knife marks
  • Damage from fitting or building work
  • Damage around the sink cut-out
  • Damage to a stone worktop

What your quote should include

  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • If travel is included in the price
  • Who turns up on the day

Choosing a repair company

How to care for the repair

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Take care with heavy pans near edges
  • Chopping boards prevent scratches
  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
  • Oil wooden tops regularly

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

A burn or chip can get worse with daily use, especially near the sink. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.

DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Shepherd's Green: your questions answered

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

What does worktop repair cost?

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.

Is a repair better than a new one?

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

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
