Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Doing more than one item at once
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Something in shot to show the size
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Landlord and trade work in Smith's Green

FAQs for Smith's Green
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire worktop and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can a scorch mark be fixed?
Frequently, yes. The burn is cut back, filled and patterned to match.
How much do I need to move?
Only the area we are working on. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Can you repair a chipped quartz worktop?
Yes. We match the colour and polish the repair.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

What else we do in Smith's Green
What we can’t put right
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- Through cracks in stone that is moving
- A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
- Laminate that has blown or swollen
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

- Laminate
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Solid wood
DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
- Clean spills right away
- Use a chopping board
- Oil wooden tops regularly
Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe spills straight away, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.
Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, as water can get in and cause swelling.
Repairs by material
Solid surface
Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so scratches and burns can often be sanded out and refinished.
Granite and stone
Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.
