What we do, step by step
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. It usually takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- We protect the rest of the kitchen.
- The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
- It’s filled and levelled with the surface.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- The repair is sealed and polished to match.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Make sure the room can be ventilated

What affects the price in Alnmouth
Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How much damage there is
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send photos for a quote
Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. Try to include:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
When we would advise against a repair
We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- A cracked stone top that is unsupported
- Discolouration deep in quartz
- Laminate swollen by water from underneath
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Laminate
- Solid wood
- Quartz
- Granite & marble

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Alnmouth as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Should you replace it?

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Alnmouth. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
What we’re called out for in Alnmouth
Worktops take more punishment than anything else in the kitchen. Hot pans scorch, knives cut, and edges chip when heavy pans or tins hit them.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Knife marks
- Dents and gouges
- Chips caused during installation
- Burns from hot pans
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How long it needs to cure
- What prep work is covered
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
How to care for the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
- Never put hot pans down directly
- Keep wood oiled
- Do not knock pans against the edge
Leave the repaired area free of hot or heavy items until it has cured. After that, trivets and chopping boards are your best protection.
A chip on an edge can grow, and on laminate, water can get into the core. Repairing it early stops that.
