What worktop repair costs
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material and finish
- Access to the area
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from photos
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One picture of the whole worktop
Send us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, with your DE56 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

FAQs for Shottlegate
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Can you repair a burn in a worktop?
In most cases. A picture lets us check what’s possible.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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, a professional repair is worth it.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
- Use a chopping board
- Watch the edges with heavy pans
- Don’t leave spills to soak in
Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe up spills promptly, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.
Don’t leave damage by the sink, as water can get in and cause swelling.
Should you replace it?
Even a single new length of worktop means templating, cutting and refitting the sink and hob. A repair takes a few hours and leaves everything in place. Our worktop repair starts from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
