How we handle worktop repair in Carrickfergus
We repair worktops in place. Most jobs take a few hours, and you can use the worktop again shortly afterwards. If you are dealing with gouges in the surface and knife marks, we can normally put it right.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

What worktop repair costs
Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Carrickfergus. What changes the price is:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
Send photos for a quote
Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. Try to include:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Something in shot to show the size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Natural light rather than flash
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Don’t leave spills to soak in
- Don’t cut directly on the worktop
- Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
- Dry around the sink and joints
Let the repair cure for the time we give you before putting anything heavy or hot on it. After that, trivets and chopping boards are your best protection.
Edge chips can get bigger, and on laminate, water can get into the core. Repairing it early stops that.
When to call us in Carrickfergus
Edges and corners chip most often, frequently when something heavy catches the edge.
Clients generally contact us about:
- Chips caused during installation
- Damage around the sink cut-out
- Burns from hot pans
- Chips in quartz or granite
Before booking anyone

- How the colour is matched
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
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.
Why repair rather than replace?
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. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.
