Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Tunstall. The price depends on:

  • The material
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Tunstall. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Getting a price from pictures

You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A picture taken from further back

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the worktop, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Water around the sink can get into laminate and wood joints, which can cause swelling.

  • Scorch marks from pans

  • Chipped corners

What your quote should include

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

For landlords and businesses

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

What we do, step by step

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. You can expect it to take a morning or an afternoon, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
  2. We cut back any burnt or loose material.
  3. The area is filled and shaped.
  4. We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
  5. It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Getting a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Related advice

How to look after the repair

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Don’t leave spills to soak in
  • Take care with heavy pans near edges
  • Keep joints and edges dry
  • Never put hot pans down directly

Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe up spills promptly, and keep wooden tops oiled.

Don’t leave damage by the sink, as water can get in and cause swelling.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Different materials, different repairs

Granite and stone

Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.

Solid surface

Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so marks can often be sanded and refinished.
