How we price worktop repair
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Thame. The price reflects:
- The material and finish
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Quotes from your photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The material, if you know it
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Most customers in Thame get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Thame: your questions answered
Can you repair a chipped quartz worktop?
Yes, often. We match the colour and polish the repair.
Can a scorch mark be fixed?
Typically. Send us a picture and we’ll tell you what’s possible.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
What happens if you find more damage?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Will the repair match a patterned worktop?
Colour, flecks and veins are recreated by hand, so the repair blends into the surface.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Landlord and trade work in Thame
If you manage property in Thame, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Chopping boards prevent scratches
- Don’t knock pans against the edge
- Always use a trivet for hot pans
- Keep joints and edges dry
Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.
A chip on an edge can grow, and on laminate, water can get into the core. Repairing it early stops that.
What we are called out for in Thame
Worktops take more punishment than anything else in the kitchen. Hot pans scorch, knives cut, and heavy pans chip the edges.
People usually call us when they notice one of these:
- Scratches and knife marks
- Chips near the sink
- Chips in quartz or granite
- Gouges in the surface
What your quote should include
- Whether they match the colour on site
- What prep work is covered
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- How soon you can use it again

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a worktop means taking out the damaged top, cutting and fitting a new one and refitting the sink and hob, and it may not match the rest of the kitchen. A repair leaves the worktop in place. Our worktop repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

What your worktop is made of matters
