- Through cracks in stone that is moving
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

How we price worktop repair
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- What the surface is made of
- What kind of damage it is
- How many areas need work
- Access to the area
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your pictures
You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- A wider photo showing the entire worktop
- Any details about the material
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Upload a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, with your CT15 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Repair or replace in South Alkham?
Replacing a worktop means taking out the damaged top, templating and fitting a replacement and reconnecting the sink and hob, and matching the rest of the kitchen can be hard. Repairing the damage keeps your existing worktop. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
- Keep joints and edges dry
- Chopping boards prevent scratches
- Do not leave spills to soak in
Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.
A chip on an edge can grow, and water can reach the core of laminate. An early repair prevents it.
The process
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which typically takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
- Burnt or loose material is cut back.
- The area is filled and shaped.
- The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
- It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure the area is dry
- Open a window if you can
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
How to get a price
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole worktop, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
