Surface scratches are one of the most common hard surface repairs we deal with at Shazam Repairs — and one of the most commonly misunderstood in terms of cost. Here’s a clear breakdown.
What Does Scratch Repair Cost in the UK?
Cost depends heavily on the surface material and the severity of the scratch:

- Hardwood floor scratch — a competitive pricea competitive price
- Stone or quartz worktop scratch — a competitive pricea competitive price

These are all on-site prices. No collection, no days without your kitchen or bathroom.
What Makes Scratch Repair More Expensive?
Depth: A surface scratch that’s only in the finish costs less to repair than a deep gouge that’s into the substrate material.
Length: A 5cm scratch costs less than a 50cm scratch across a worktop or floor panel.
Colour complexity: High-gloss white surfaces or complex wood grains require more time for colour matching.
Location: High-visibility areas (the front of a kitchen door, the centre of a floor panel) require more precision.
Can I Repair Scratches Myself?
Minor scratches on wood furniture can sometimes be improved with wax crayons, touch-up pens or wood fillers. But these rarely achieve an invisible result, and on stone, laminate or acrylic surfaces, DIY kits often make things worse.
For anything in a visible location, professional repair gives a far better outcome.
