Why repair rather than replace?

Even a single new length of worktop means templating, cutting and refitting the sink and hob. A repair is a few hours with everything left in place. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

How we price worktop repair

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material
  • How many areas need work

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Quotes from your photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Natural light rather than flash

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Common problems we fix in Greenside

Water around the sink can get into laminate and wood joints, which can cause swelling.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • Chips caused during installation
  • Knife marks
  • A damaged sink edge
  • Dents and gouges

What your quote should include

  • When it can be used again
  • Who will actually do the work
  • If travel is included in the price
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers

Choosing a repair company

What your worktop is made of matters

Quartz

Quartz is tough, though edges can chip. Chips are filled with tinted resin and polished.

Granite and stone

Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Work for landlords and builders

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Gateshead and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

How to look after the repair

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Watch the edges with heavy pans
  • Steer clear of strong cleaners
  • Use a chopping board
  • Clean spills immediately

Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, particularly with laminate and timber.

A chip on an edge can grow, and on laminate, water can get into the core. An early repair prevents it.

The process

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage for most jobs. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  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. The colour and pattern are built up by hand.
  5. We seal and polish it to the right sheen.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Greenside questions

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Can you price it without visiting?

Normally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
