How we price worktop repair
Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- How much damage there is
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.
How to get a fixed quote
Phone photos are fine. Just ensure we can see:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A picture taken from further back
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire worktop, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
How to care for the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Keep joints and edges dry
- Do not leave spills to soak in
- Keep wood oiled
- Do not knock pans against the edge
Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe up spills promptly, and keep wooden tops oiled.
A chip on an edge can grow, and on laminate, water can get into the core. Repairing it early stops that.

What your worktop is made of matters
Solid surface
Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so marks can frequently be sanded and refinished.
Quartz
Quartz is tough, though edges can chip. Chips are filled with tinted resin and polished to the worktop’s finish.
Work for landlords and builders
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.
South Kensington: your questions answered
Can a scorch mark be fixed?
Usually, yes. The burn is cut back, filled and patterned to match.
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.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire worktop and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

The process
You do not need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. It typically takes a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- First we look at the damage and what the worktop is made of.
- The area is cleaned and the edges of the damage prepared.
- We fill with a filler suited to the material and rebuild any missing edge.
- We match the colour and pattern by hand.
- Finally we seal or finish the area to match.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
