Repairing versus replacing in Slack
Even a single new length of worktop means templating, cutting and refitting the sink and hob. A repair is a few hours with everything left in place. Our worktop repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Slack. The price comes down to:
- How hard the colour is to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What the surface is made of
- Doing more than one item at once
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
How to get a fixed quote
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The material, if you know it
- Something in shot to show the size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire worktop, we can price the job.
What we’re called out for in Slack
Kitchen worktops have a hard life. Hot pans leave burns, knives cut, and heavy pans chip the edges.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Dents and gouges
- Knife marks
- A chipped quartz edge
- A damaged sink edge
What to look for in a quote
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- How long it needs to cure
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What protection goes down before work starts

- Discolouration deep in quartz
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Slack: your questions answered
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
How much does worktop repair cost in Slack?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your S45 postcode.
Will the repair match a patterned worktop?
Colour, flecks and veins are recreated by hand, for a repair that blends in.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
How do I book?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Always use a trivet for hot pans
- Oil wooden tops regularly
- Don’t cut directly on the worktop
- Don’t let water sit on joints
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.
What happens on the day
The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours, depending on the damage. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
- Burnt or loose material is cut back.
- We fill and shape the damaged area.
- We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
- We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Ask for a price
