Worktop repair in Elswick without replacing anything
A worktop repair is carried out in your kitchen, with the rest of the kitchen protected. Most repairs take a few hours, and you can use the worktop again shortly afterwards. We are often asked to fix scratches and knife marks and burns from hot pans, on solid surface (such as Corian), granite & marble and solid wood.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

- What the surface is made of
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How easy the damage is to reach

Why repair rather than replace?
Stone and quartz tops are templated and cut to fit, so replacing a section takes time and money. Repairing it is a few hours’ work. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Questions from Elswick
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
Can you repair a chipped quartz worktop?
Yes. Chips on edges and around the sink are very common repairs, matched and polished.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Can you match the pattern on my worktop?
Colour, flecks and veins are recreated by hand, so the repair blends into the surface.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Elswick included. Travel is included in the price.

Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Oil wooden tops regularly
- Do not cut directly on the worktop
- Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
- Dry around the sink and joints
Hot pans should always go on a trivet. 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.
Work for landlords and builders
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.
What your worktop is made of matters
Wood
Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, and burns and dents repaired.
Granite and stone
Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.
How it works
The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
- We cut back any burnt or loose material.
- 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
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
Ask for a price
