Stubbins: your questions answered
What does worktop repair cost?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your BL0 postcode.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
How much do I need to move?
Just clear the area around the damage. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

What else we do in Stubbins
Different materials, different repairs
Wood
Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, and burns and dents repaired.
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 Stubbins
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Doing more than one item at once
- How much damage there is
- How easy the damage is to reach
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
Send pictures for a quote
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One picture of the entire worktop
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Never put hot pans down directly
- Don’t knock pans against the edge
- Keep joints and edges dry
- Wipe up spills quickly
Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.
Don’t leave damage by the sink, because water gets in and swells the board.
How it works
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a few hours.
- First we look at the damage and what the worktop is made of.
- We clean the area and prepare the edges of the damage.
- We fill the damage with a suitable filler and build up any lost edge.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- The surface is sealed or finished to suit the worktop.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
Should you replace it?
Stone and quartz tops are templated and cut to fit, so replacing one section is a big job. Repairing it is a few hours’ work. Prices start from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

- Failed support under the worktop
- Laminate swollen by water from underneath
- Cracks right through stone that has moved
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
