What worktop repair costs

Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The type of damage

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed quote

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A wider photo showing the entire worktop
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Landlords, agents and businesses in St Margarets

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.

St Margarets: your questions answered

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

What happens after I send photos?

We come back with a fixed quote. You’re under no obligation.

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Can a quartz edge be fixed?

Yes. Chips on edges and around the sink are very common repairs, matched and polished.

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

What do you need from me?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.

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. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Aftercare tips

To keep it looking its best:

  • Keep wood oiled
  • Wipe up spills quickly
  • Don’t knock pans against the edge
  • Don’t cut directly on the worktop

Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.

Do not leave damage by the sink, as water can get in and cause swelling.

How the visit works

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, including clearing up.

  1. First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
  2. Burnt or loose material is cut back.
  3. The area is filled and shaped.
  4. We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
  5. We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Related advice

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing even one length of worktop means templating, cutting, fitting and frequently a new sink and hob connection. A repair takes a few hours and leaves everything in place. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book.

What you get with us

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • No need to remove anything
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
