Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
What a repair can’t fix
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Laminate swollen by water from underneath
- Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
- A top that moves on its units
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Laminate
- Solid wood
- Granite & marble
- Quartz

Common questions in Starcross
What does worktop repair cost?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Will the repair match a patterned worktop?
Yes. We recreate the pattern by hand so it blends in.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What kind of damage it is
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Starcross. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed quote
Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. It helps if you send:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole worktop, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.
Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Oil wooden tops regularly
- Chopping boards prevent scratches
- Keep a trivet by the hob
- Keep joints and edges dry
Keep joints and the sink edge dry, especially on laminate and wood.
Edge chips can get bigger, and on laminate, water can get into the core. Repairing it early stops that.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a worktop means taking out the damaged top, cutting and fitting a new one and reconnecting the sink and hob, and matching the rest of the kitchen can be hard. A repair keeps your existing worktop. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
