Worktop repair near Dunston

Worktop repair at your home in Dunston

A new worktop rarely matches the old one, especially in an L-shaped or long kitchen. A repair leaves the kitchen untouched. Common call-outs are for dents and gouges and damage around the sink cut-out, on solid surface (such as Corian), quartz and granite & marble.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Choosing a repair company

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new worktop means taking out the damaged top, cutting and fitting a new one and reconnecting the sink and hob, and it may not match the rest of the kitchen. Repairing the damage leaves the worktop in place. Our worktop repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

  2. We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
  3. It’s filled and levelled with the surface.
  4. The colour and pattern are built up by hand.
  5. We seal and polish it to the right sheen.

Advice

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Dunston. The price comes down to:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Access to the area
  • The material
  • Doing more than one item at once

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Quotes from your photos

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire worktop, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Laminate

Laminate worktops have a printed decorative layer over a board core. Chips and burns are filled and the pattern recreated by hand.

Quartz

Quartz is hard, but its edges are brittle. We fill chips with a tinted resin and polish them.

Keeping it looking good

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Watch the edges with heavy pans
  • Use a chopping board
  • Steer clear of strong cleaners
  • Keep wood oiled

Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe up spills promptly, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.

A burn or chip can get worse with daily use. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.
