Woodford: your questions answered
What does worktop repair cost?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your GL13 postcode.
What areas do you cover?
We cover the entire UK, including Woodford and the rest of Gloucestershire. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll confirm dates.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Do I need to empty the worktop?
Just near the damage. You can usually still use the rest of the kitchen.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Stone and quartz tops are templated and cut to fit, so replacing a section takes time and money. Repairing it is a few hours’ work. Prices start from £95. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What happens on the day
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which generally takes a few hours. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- First we look at the damage and what the worktop is made of.
- We clean the area and prepare the edges of the damage.
- We fill with a filler suited to the material and rebuild any missing edge.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- Finally we seal or finish the area to match.
Before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let us know about parking or access
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
How to get a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Advice
Repairs by material
Wood
Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, and burns and dents repaired.
Granite and stone
Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- The material
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The type of damage
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Getting a price from photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A wider photo showing the whole worktop
To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.
What a repair cannot fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
- Cracks right through stone that has moved
- Laminate swollen by water from underneath
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

For landlords and businesses
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Woodford as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
DIY kit or professional 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, then guarantee it for a year.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
- Do not cut directly on the worktop
- Re-oil timber worktops
- Wipe up spills quickly
Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe spills right away, and keep wooden tops oiled.
A burn or chip can get worse with daily use, especially near the sink. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.
