What worktop repair costs
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- The colour and finish to match
- How many items we do on one visit
- The type of damage
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
Quotes from your pictures
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- Any details about the material
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
Repairs by material
Wood
Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, and burns and dents repaired.
Quartz
Quartz is crushed stone bound with resin. We fill and polish chipped edges.
Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Always use a trivet for hot pans
- Keep joints and edges dry
- Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
- Wipe up spills quickly
Let the repair cure for the time we give you before putting anything heavy or hot on it. After that, trivets and chopping boards are your best protection.
Daily use can make burns and chips worse, especially near the sink. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.
Signs you need worktop repair in Whinfield
The worst damage often happens in a moment: a hot pan set straight down, or a heavy pan catching the edge. Scratches build up more slowly, from knives and grit.
Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Damage to a stone worktop
- A dent from a dropped pan
- Burns from hot pans
- Snagging damage in a new kitchen
Questions to ask before you book

How it works
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
- We cut back any burnt or loose material.
- The area is filled and shaped.
- We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
- We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.
How to prepare
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Ensure the area is dry
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Ask for a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Advice
Should you replace it?
Swollen or badly damaged laminate may need replacing. For chips, burns and scratches, a repair is the better value. Prices start from £95. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What we can’t put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Cracks right through stone that has moved
- A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
- Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear

DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
