Should I try a DIY kit first?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

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. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Worktop repair in Gosforth, done in place

A worktop repair is carried out in your kitchen. Most repairs take a few hours, and you can use the worktop again shortly afterwards. Our repair technicians work on solid wood, solid surface (such as Corian) and quartz, and common reasons people get in touch are a heat mark or burn and damage to a stone worktop.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

What we can’t put right

We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath
  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
  • A top that moves on its units

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Surfaces we repair

  • Laminate
  • Solid surface (such as Corian)
  • Solid wood
  • Granite & marble
  • Quartz

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Wood

Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, with burns and dents put right.

Quartz

Quartz is crushed stone bound with resin. Edge chips are very common, and we fill and polish them to match the sheen.

How we price worktop repair

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The type of damage

Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Quotes from your pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A wider photo showing the whole worktop
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any details about the material

Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Gosforth, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

What happens on the day

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. The area around the damage is protected.
  2. We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
  3. We fill it and level it with the worktop.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed and polished to match.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

What we’re called out for in Gosforth

Sink and hob cut-outs are weak points, and that’s where cracks frequently begin.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Cuts and scratches in the surface
  • Chips on edges and corners
  • Chips caused during installation
  • A chipped quartz edge

Questions to ask before booking

  • Who turns up on the day
  • What preparation is included
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

Choosing a repair company

Keeping it looking good

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Wipe up spills quickly
  • Chopping boards prevent scratches
  • Dry around the sink and joints
  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone

Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe up spills promptly, and keep wooden tops oiled.

Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, because water gets in and swells the board.
