Worktop repair in Viables without replacing anything
Each type of worktop needs a different approach: we fill and pattern laminate, fill and polish quartz and stone, and sand and refinish wood. The goal is always a repair that blends in. Whether it’s chipped corners and gouges in the surface, we can typically put it right.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff:
- Do not knock pans against the edge
- Do not cut directly on the worktop
- Never put hot pans down directly
- Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
Leave the repaired area free of hot or heavy items until it has cured. After that, trivets and chopping boards are your best protection.
Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, as water can get in and cause swelling.

Viables questions
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Just near the damage. The rest of the kitchen stays usable.

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.
How much does worktop repair cost in Viables?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.
Can a scorch mark be fixed?
Generally. Send us a photo and we’ll tell you what’s possible.
How we price worktop repair
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The colour and finish to match
- How many areas need work
- Access to the area
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Viables. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Quotes from your pictures
Two or three clear photos are normally enough. It helps if you send:
- Any details about the material
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Where you are, by postcode
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a worktop means removing the old one, templating and fitting a replacement and reconnecting the sink and hob, and matching the rest of the kitchen can be hard. A repair keeps your existing worktop. Our worktop repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Why Viables clients choose us
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
