How we price worktop repair
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- What kind of damage it is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How much damage there is
- How hard the colour is to match
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Southgate. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Send photos for a quote
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A picture taken from further back
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best:
- Steer clear of strong cleaners
- Keep a trivet by the hob
- Clean spills right away
- Re-oil timber worktops
Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.
A chip on an edge can grow, and on laminate, water can get into the core. An early repair prevents it.
What your worktop is made of matters
Laminate
A laminate worktop is a thin decorative layer on a board. Damage is filled and the pattern painted in by hand.
Granite and stone
Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.
For landlords and businesses
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Southgate use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
What we do, step by step
We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We assess the damage and the worktop material.
- We clean the area and prepare the edges of the damage.
- We fill the damage with a suitable filler and build up any lost edge.
- We match the colour and pattern by hand.
- The surface is sealed or finished to suit the worktop.
How to prepare
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Repair or replace: which is better?
A new worktop means removing the old one, templating and fitting a replacement and reconnecting the sink and hob, and matching the rest of the kitchen can be hard. Repairing the damage leaves the worktop in place. 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.
What you get with us
- No extra charge for your area

Southgate questions
What does worktop repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
What do you need from me?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Can you match the pattern on my worktop?
Yes. We recreate the pattern by hand so it blends in.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
