What affects the price in Wherstead
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The colour and finish to match
- What the surface is made of
Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed price
Two or three clear photos are typically enough. Try to include:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- One picture of the entire worktop
- The material, if you know it
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 come back to you with a fixed figure.
What we do, step by step
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon. The room is left tidy.
- We protect the rest of the kitchen.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Getting a price
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Common questions in Wherstead
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You will get a fixed quote back. You are under no obligation.
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Wherstead included. There is no extra charge for travel.
Will the repair match a patterned worktop?
We match colour, flecks and veining by hand, so the repair blends into the surface.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Wipe up spills quickly
- Chopping boards prevent scratches
- Steer clear of strong cleaners
- Keep joints and edges dry
Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe spills immediately, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.
Daily use can make burns and chips worse particularly around the sink. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
Common problems we fix in Wherstead
The worst damage often happens in a moment: a hot pan set straight down, or a heavy pan catching the edge. Scratches build up gradually from knives and grit.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Damage from fitting or building work
- Chipped corners
- Damage to a stone worktop
- Damage around the sink cut-out
What your quote should include
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new worktop means removing the old one, 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. Our worktop repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Wherstead. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Why book with us
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Same prices wherever you are
- No need to remove anything
