Questions from Gatehead
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Can you match the pattern on my worktop?
Yes, the pattern is built up by hand.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
How do I book?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
How much does worktop repair cost in Gatehead?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 is not prepared the repair will not last.
For landlords and businesses
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

How we price worktop repair
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material and finish
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Unusual colours or finishes
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Quotes from your pictures
Phone photos are fine. Make sure they show:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The material, if you know it
- A wider photo showing the whole worktop
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Wood
Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, and burns and dents repaired.
Solid surface
Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so marks can often be sanded and refinished.
Honest limits
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Laminate that has blown or swollen
- A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
- A cracked stone top that is unsupported
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
Materials we work on in Gatehead
- Laminate
- Granite & marble
- Solid wood
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Quartz
Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Always use a trivet for hot pans
- Re-oil timber worktops
- Dry around the sink and joints
- Watch the edges with heavy pans
Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.
A chip on an edge can grow, and water can reach the core of laminate. Repairing it early stops that.
What we do, step by step
On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours, depending on the damage. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.
- First we look at the damage and what the worktop is made of.
- We clean the area and prepare the edges of the damage.
- We fill with a filler suited to the material and rebuild any missing edge.
- We match the colour and pattern by hand.
- Finally we seal or finish the area to match.
Before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Let us know about parking or access
Ask for a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
