What worktop repair costs

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Getting a price from pictures

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Details of any past repairs
  • The material, if you know it
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the worktop, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Stainsby

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

Honest limits

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath
  • Failed support under the worktop
  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Materials we repair

  • Solid wood
  • Solid surface (such as Corian)

Your questions about worktop repair in Stainsby

Can you match granite flecks?

Yes. We recreate the pattern by hand so it blends in.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Do I need to empty the worktop?

Just clear the area around the damage. The rest is covered and protected.

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

What happens on the day

You don’t 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. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on the damage, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
  2. We cut back any burnt or loose material.
  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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Advice

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Different materials, different repairs

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. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.

When to call us in Stainsby

Around the sink, water gets into joints on laminate and wood, which can cause swelling.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • Chips in quartz or granite
  • A chipped edge
  • Knife marks
  • Dents and gouges

Comparing quotes

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • How soon you can use it again
  • How to look after the finish
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

10 questions to ask before you book

Keeping it looking good

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Oil wooden tops regularly
  • Never put hot pans down directly
  • Do not cut directly on the worktop
  • Take care with heavy pans near edges

Leave the repaired area free of hot or heavy items until it has cured. After that, trivets and chopping boards protect it best.

Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, as water can get in and cause swelling.
