Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Quotes from your photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any details about the material
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Something in shot to show the size

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll say right away if a repair is the right fix.

Repairs by material

Granite and stone

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

Wood

Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, with burns and dents put right.

Looking after it afterwards

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Steer clear of strong cleaners
  • Take care with heavy pans near edges
  • Clean spills straight away
  • Use a chopping board

Leave the repaired area free of hot or heavy items until it has cured. After that, trivets and chopping boards protect it best.

Daily use can make burns and chips worse particularly around the sink. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

What happens on the day

We turn up when we said we would and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We start by checking the damage and the worktop material.
  2. Next we clean up and prepare the damaged area.
  3. We fill the damage with a suitable filler and build up any lost edge.
  4. The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
  5. We seal or finish the surface to suit the worktop.

How to prepare

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
