Springwell questions
What does worktop repair cost?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
Do you work in Springwell?
We do. We send a technician to Springwell for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Will the repair match a patterned worktop?
Yes. We recreate the pattern by hand.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Common problems we fix in Springwell
Worktops take more punishment than anything else in the kitchen. Hot pans scorch, knives cut, and edges chip when heavy pans or tins hit them.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- Chipped corners
- A damaged sink edge
- Damage to a stone worktop
- Damage from fitting or building work
Before you book anyone
- How the colour is matched
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Aftercare advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
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 process
We turn up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We start by checking the damage and the worktop material.
- Next we clean up and prepare the damaged area.
- We fill the damage with a suitable filler and build up any lost edge.
- The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
- Finally we seal or finish the area to match.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Keep wood oiled
- Chopping boards prevent scratches
- Dry around the sink and joints
- Always use a trivet for hot pans
Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, especially on laminate and wood.
Edge chips can get bigger, and on laminate, water can get into the core. An early repair prevents it.
What your worktop is made of matters
Granite and stone
Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.
Wood
Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, and burns and dents repaired.
