- Granite & marble
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Solid wood
- Quartz
- Laminate
How to look after the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Always use a trivet for hot pans
- Re-oil timber worktops
- Use a chopping board
- Dry around the sink and joints
Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe up spills promptly, and keep wooden tops oiled.
Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, as water can get in and cause swelling.
Should you replace it?
Even a single new length of worktop means templating, cutting and refitting the sink and hob. A repair is a few hours with everything left in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
What you get with us

- Nothing taken out or refitted
- No extra charge for your area
- Fixed prices from your pictures

What your worktop is made of matters
Granite and stone

Wood

Barmston questions
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
What happens after I send pictures?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Will the repair match a patterned worktop?
Yes. We recreate the pattern by hand.
Do I need to empty the worktop?
Just near the damage. You can generally still use the rest of the kitchen.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
The process
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job normally takes a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.
- First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
- Burnt or loose material is cut back.
- The area is filled and shaped.
- We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
- We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Ensure the area is dry
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
Getting a price
Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your NE38 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

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 pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
How to get a fixed quote
You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- One picture of the whole worktop
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
