DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
About our worktop repair in Gosforth
We repair worktops in place, with the rest of the kitchen protected. Most repairs take a few hours, and the worktop can be used again soon after. We regularly repair solid surface (such as Corian), quartz and solid wood, and common reasons people contact us are chips near the sink and chips on edges and corners.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it.

What affects the price in Gosforth
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Access to the area
- Unusual colours or finishes
A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from photos
Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. Try to include:
- Any details about the material
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Never put hot pans down directly
- Do not leave spills to soak in
- Dry around the sink and joints
- Re-oil timber worktops
Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe up spills promptly, and keep wooden tops oiled.
Edge chips can get bigger, and on laminate, water can get into the core. Repairing it early stops that.
Repairs by material
Granite and stone
Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.
Solid surface
Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so marks can often be sanded and refinished.
How the visit works
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a few hours from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
- Burnt or loose material is cut back.
- We fill and shape the damaged area.
- We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
- We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking or access
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Keep a parking space free if you can
Getting a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.
