Repair or replace: which is better?
A new worktop means taking out the damaged top, cutting and fitting a new one and reconnecting the sink and hob, and matching the rest of the kitchen can be hard. A repair keeps your existing worktop. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your IP12 postcode.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
What happens if you find more damage?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
How to care for the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Don’t cut directly on the worktop
- Don’t leave spills to soak in
- Keep wood oiled
- Keep a trivet by the hob
Keep joints and the sink edge dry, especially on laminate and wood.
A burn or chip can get worse with daily use particularly around the sink. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.
Repairs by material
Granite and stone
Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.
Quartz
Quartz is hard, but its edges are brittle. We fill chips with a tinted resin and polish them.
