Our worktop repair service in Newtownabbey
A worktop repair is carried out in your kitchen, with the rest of the kitchen protected. Most jobs take a few hours, and you can use the worktop again shortly afterwards. We regularly repair solid surface (such as Corian), quartz and solid wood, and common reasons people get in touch are a chipped edge and snagging damage in a new kitchen.
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- First we look at the damage and what the worktop is made of.
- Next we clean up and prepare the damaged area.
- We fill the damage with a suitable filler and build up any lost edge.
- We match the colour and pattern by hand.
- Finally we seal or finish the area to match.

How the damage happens
Around the sink, water gets into joints on laminate and wood, which can cause swelling.
Look out for these signs:
- Scorch marks from pans
- Damage to a stone worktop
- A damaged sink edge
- Snagging damage in a new kitchen
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Solid surface
Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so scratches and burns can frequently be sanded out and refinished.
Laminate
Laminate is a printed surface bonded to a board. Damage is filled and the pattern painted in by hand.
Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Do not cut directly on the worktop
- Take care with heavy pans near edges
- Oil wooden tops regularly
- Steer clear of strong cleaners
Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe up spills promptly, and keep wooden tops oiled.
Daily use can make burns and chips worse particularly around the sink. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
