Worktop repair in High Friarside without replacing anything
We repair worktops in place, with the area around the damage covered. Most repairs take a few hours, and you can use the worktop again shortly afterwards. Common call-outs are for a dent from a dropped pan and chips near the sink, in solid surface (such as Corian), quartz and granite & marble.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What your worktop is made of matters
Solid surface
Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so marks can often be sanded and refinished.
Laminate
Laminate is a printed surface bonded to a board. Damage is filled and the pattern painted in by hand.
What we do, step by step
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We protect the rest of the kitchen.
- We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
- It’s filled and levelled with the surface.
- The colour and pattern are built up by hand.
- We seal and polish it to the right sheen.
Preparing for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

High Friarside questions
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
Do I need to empty the worktop?
Only the area we are working on. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
Will the repair match a patterned worktop?
Colour, flecks and veins are recreated by hand, so the repair blends into the surface.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the entire UK, including High Friarside and the rest of Gateshead. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.
Can a quartz edge be fixed?
Yes. Chips on edges and around the sink are very common repairs, filled and polished to match.
When can you do it?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Can you repair a burn in a worktop?
Generally. Send us a photo and we will tell you.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Landlords, agents and businesses in High Friarside
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in High Friarside use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Should you replace it?
Replacing even one length of worktop means templating, cutting, fitting and often a new sink and hob connection. A repair takes a few hours and leaves everything in place. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- How many areas need work
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material
- How easy the damage is to reach
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send pictures for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Something in shot to show the size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A wider photo showing the whole worktop
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff:
- Keep wood oiled
- Don’t leave spills to soak in
- Use a chopping board
- Keep a trivet by the hob
Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe up spills promptly, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.
Do not leave damage by the sink, because water gets in and swells the board.
When a repair isn’t the answer
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- A top that moves on its units
- Laminate swollen by water from underneath
- A cracked stone top that’s unsupported
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
