How we price worktop repair
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What kind of damage it is
- The material
- Doing more than one item at once
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Send pictures for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A wider photo showing the entire worktop
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
When to call us in The Grove
Water around the sink can get into laminate and wood joints, which can cause swelling.
Clients typically contact us about:
- A chipped quartz edge
- Burns from hot pans
- Gouges in the surface
- Damage around the sink cut-out
What your quote should include
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- Aftercare advice
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Honest limits
We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Laminate that has blown or swollen
- Cracks right through stone that has moved
- Failed support under the worktop
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Re-oil timber worktops
- Steer clear of strong cleaners
- Do not cut directly on the worktop
- Always use a trivet for hot pans
Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe up spills promptly, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.
Edge chips can get bigger, and water can reach the core of laminate. Repairing it early stops that.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a worktop means removing the old one, templating and fitting a replacement and refitting the sink and hob, and matching the rest of the kitchen can be hard. Repairing the damage leaves the worktop in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
