Worktop repair in Duston, Northamptonshire
Worktop repair in and around Duston: a fixed quote from pictures, a tidy visit and a one-year guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- Gouges in the surface
- Damage around the sink cut-out
Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple:
- Keep wood oiled
- Dry around the sink and joints
- Keep a trivet by the hob
- Wipe up spills quickly
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.
Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, because water gets in and swells the board.

What worktop repair costs
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Duston. What changes the price is:
- What the surface is made of
- What kind of damage it is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many items we do on one visit
Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
How to get a fixed quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Details of any past repairs
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Email us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your NN5 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Should you replace it?
Even a single new length of worktop means templating, cutting and refitting the sink and hob. A repair takes a few hours and leaves everything in place. Our worktop repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book.

Questions from Duston
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.
Do you work in Duston?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Duston from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Can you match the pattern on my worktop?
Yes, the pattern is built up by hand.

Advice
Work for landlords and builders
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
DIY kit or professional repair?
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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
What your worktop is made of matters
Granite and stone
Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.
Wood
Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, and burns and dents repaired.
