Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a 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. A repair keeps your existing worktop. Prices start from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Advice
Stroud: your questions answered
What do you need from me?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Do you work in Stroud?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Stroud and the rest of Gloucestershire. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can a scorch mark be fixed?
In most cases. A photo lets us check what’s possible.
Do you cover the whole of Gloucestershire?
All of Gloucestershire, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Do you repair quartz?
Yes. Chips on edges and around the sink are very common repairs, matched and polished.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Laminate
Laminate is a printed surface bonded to 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.
What affects the price in Stroud
Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Stroud. The price comes down to:
- The material
- How many items we do on one visit
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The colour and finish to match
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from photos
You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Any details about the material
- Something in shot to show the size
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Can I fix it myself?
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.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Dry around the sink and joints
- Always use a trivet for hot pans
- Re-oil timber worktops
- Steer clear of strong cleaners
Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, particularly with laminate and timber.
Edge chips can get bigger, and on laminate, water can get into the core. Repairing it early stops that.
