Materials and what they mean for the repair
Wood
Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, with burns and dents put right.
Quartz
Quartz worktops are mostly stone set in resin. We fill and polish chipped edges.
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Why repair rather than replace?
Even a single new length of worktop means templating, cutting and refitting the sink and hob. A repair takes a few hours and leaves everything in place. Our worktop repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
What you get with us
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
- No extra charge for your area
- Honest advice, even when it means no job

How we price worktop repair
Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Archdeacon Newton. The price reflects:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What the surface is made of
- How much damage there is
- What kind of damage it is
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
How to get a fixed quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- The material, if you know it
- Natural light rather than flash
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Your questions about worktop repair in Archdeacon Newton
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
How much do I need to move?
Only around the repair. You can usually still use the rest of the kitchen.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
What we can’t put right
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- A top that moves on its units
- Through cracks in stone that is moving
- Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
How to look after the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Keep joints and edges dry
- Never put hot pans down directly
- Re-oil timber worktops
- Take care with heavy pans near edges
Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, especially on laminate and wood.
Edge chips can get bigger, and on laminate, water can get into the core. Repairing it early stops that.
