What affects the price in Toab
Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Toab. The price comes down to:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Access to the area
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Unusual colours or finishes
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
How to get a fixed quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Where you are, by postcode
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- What it’s made of, if you know
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole worktop, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Worktop repair in Toab, done in place
The hard part of a worktop repair is matching the pattern. We build up the colour and flecks by hand. Our repair technicians work on solid surface (such as Corian), laminate and granite & marble, and common reasons people contact us are scratches and knife marks and burns from hot pans.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

Your questions about worktop repair in Toab
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can you repair a burn in a worktop?
Generally, yes. The burn is cut back, filled and patterned to match.
Do you need worktop repair in Toab?
Kitchen worktops have a hard life. Hot pans leave burns, knives leave scratches, and edges chip when heavy pans or tins hit them.
Customers normally contact us about:
- A chipped edge
- Burns from hot pans
- Damage around the sink cut-out
- Damage to a stone worktop
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- What aftercare is recommended
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Always use a trivet for hot pans
- Wipe up spills quickly
- Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
- Dry around the sink and joints
Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.
A burn or chip can get worse with daily use particularly around the sink. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.
The process
Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- The area around the damage is protected.
- We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
- We fill it and level it with the worktop.
- The colour and pattern are built up by hand.
- We seal and polish it to the right sheen.
How to prepare
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Getting a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Different materials, different repairs
Quartz
Quartz is hard, but its edges are brittle. We fill chips with a tinted resin and polish them.
Wood
Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, with burns and dents put right.
Work for landlords and builders
For anyone letting property in or around Toab, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.

What we can’t put right
A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- Discolouration deep in quartz
- Laminate swollen by water from underneath
- Through cracks in stone that is moving
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
