About our worktop repair in Dunston
Worktops are expensive to replace and hard to match, particularly where several lengths join. Repairing the damage keeps your kitchen as it is. Common call-outs are for chips caused during installation and scratches and knife marks, in laminate, solid wood and quartz.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it.

What affects the price in Dunston
Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- What the surface is made of
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many items we do on one visit
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Getting a price from photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole worktop, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.
Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Clean spills immediately
- Steer clear of strong cleaners
- Keep wood oiled
- Keep joints and edges dry
Keep joints and the sink edge dry, particularly with laminate and timber.
Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, because water gets in and swells the board.

Different materials, different repairs
Laminate
A laminate worktop is a thin decorative layer on a board. We fill damage and paint in the pattern by hand.
Quartz
Quartz is crushed stone bound with resin. Edge chips are very common, and we fill and polish them to match the sheen.
Repair or replace in Dunston?
A new worktop means taking out the damaged top, cutting and fitting a new one and refitting the sink and hob, and it may not match the rest of the kitchen. A repair leaves the worktop in place. Our worktop repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
