Should you replace it?
A new worktop means removing the old one, templating and fitting a replacement and reconnecting the sink and hob, and it may not match the rest of the kitchen. Repairing the damage keeps your existing worktop. Our worktop repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Chopping boards prevent scratches
- Re-oil timber worktops
- Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
- Dry around the sink and joints
Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe up spills promptly, and keep wooden tops oiled.
A burn or chip can get worse with daily use, especially near the sink. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.
Temple End: your questions answered
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can you repair a burn in a worktop?
Normally. A picture lets us check.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Can you repair a chipped quartz worktop?
Yes. We match the colour and polish the repair.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Temple End. Prices don’t change with location.

DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Landlord and trade work in Temple End
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Severe heat marks in quartz
- Through cracks in stone that is moving
- Laminate swollen by water from underneath
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

- Solid wood
- Granite & marble
