How we price worktop repair

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How much damage there is
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How easy the damage is to reach

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Quotes from your pictures

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Worktop repair in Skelmorlie, done in place

A new worktop rarely matches the old one, especially in an L-shaped or long kitchen. A repair leaves the kitchen untouched. We regularly repair laminate, granite & marble and solid surface (such as Corian), and the jobs we see most are a dent from a dropped pan and cuts and scratches in the surface.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

When a repair isn’t the answer

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Cracks right through stone that has moved
  • Severe heat marks in quartz
  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Repair or replace in Skelmorlie?

Replacing a worktop means taking out the damaged top, templating and fitting a replacement and refitting the sink and hob, and it may not match the rest of the kitchen. Repairing the damage keeps your existing worktop. Our worktop repair starts 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.

How it works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We start by checking the damage and the worktop material.
  2. We clean the area and prepare the edges of the damage.
  3. We fill the damage with a suitable filler and build up any lost edge.
  4. The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
  5. Finally we seal or finish the area to match.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Related advice

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

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

Common problems we fix in Skelmorlie

Most chips are on edges and corners, frequently when something heavy catches the edge.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • Dents and gouges
  • Scratches and knife marks
  • Chips on edges and corners
  • Snagging damage in a new kitchen

Comparing quotes

  • How long it needs to cure
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers

10 questions to ask before booking

Skelmorlie questions

Is the work guaranteed?

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

Do you come to Skelmorlie?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Skelmorlie. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

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

Is a burnt worktop repairable?

Frequently, yes. The burn is cut back, filled and patterned to match.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

Will the repair match a patterned worktop?

Colour, flecks and veins are recreated by hand, for a repair that blends in.

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Landlord and trade work in Skelmorlie

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Skelmorlie use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Keeping it looking good

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
  • Do not knock pans against the edge
  • Use a chopping board
  • Dry around the sink and joints

Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.

Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, as water can get in and cause swelling.
