What affects the price in Sholing
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- What the surface is made of
- The type of damage
- How many areas need work
- How many items we do on one visit
Set against the cost of replacement, 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.
Send photos for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Most customers in Sholing get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Worktop repair at your home in Sholing
A damaged worktop does not have to mean a new kitchen. The damage is filled and refinished to blend into the surface around it. If you are dealing with a dent from a dropped pan and chips in quartz or granite, we can help, whatever the material.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Sholing: your questions answered
Can you repair a chipped quartz worktop?
Yes. Chips on edges and around the sink are very common repairs, filled and polished to match.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
What happens next?
You will get a fixed quote back. There’s no obligation to book.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Can you repair a burn in a worktop?
Normally. A photo lets us check what’s possible.
What does worktop repair cost?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
What a repair can’t fix
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- Severe heat marks in quartz
- Through cracks in stone that is moving
- A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair
- Solid wood
- Laminate
- Granite & marble

Repairing versus replacing in Sholing
Replacing even one length of worktop means templating, cutting, fitting and often a new sink and hob connection. A repair takes a few hours and leaves everything in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

How the visit works
You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. It generally takes a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
- We cut back any burnt or loose material.
- We fill and shape the damaged area.
- The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
- It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Getting a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
