What a repair cannot fix
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Discolouration deep in quartz
- A top that moves on its units
- Through cracks in stone that is moving
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Granite & marble
- Laminate
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Quartz
- Solid wood
How it works
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon, including clearing up.
- We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

FAQs for Castleside
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
What information do you need?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
Do you cover Castleside?
We do. Technicians travel to Castleside from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Is a burnt worktop repairable?
Generally, yes. We remove the damaged surface, fill it and recreate the pattern.
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Always use a trivet for hot pans
- Don’t leave spills to soak in
- Use a chopping board
- Take care with heavy pans near edges
Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.
Edge chips can get bigger, and water can reach the core of laminate. Repairing it early stops that.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
What we’re called out for in Castleside
Around the sink, water gets into joints on laminate and wood, which can cause swelling.

- Chips on edges and corners
- Chips caused during installation

For landlords and businesses
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Castleside. The price comes down to:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The colour and finish to match
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Quotes from your photos
You can take the photos on your phone. Just ensure we can see:
- One picture of the entire worktop
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
