Worktop Repair for Hoswick homes
Chip, burn and scratch repairs to kitchen and bathroom worktops in Hoswick, carried out at your home and guaranteed for a year.
- Repairs from £95
- Scorch marks from pans
- A damaged sink edge
How we handle worktop repair in Hoswick
Worktops are expensive to replace and hard to match, particularly where several lengths join. A repair leaves the kitchen untouched. Common call-outs are for snagging damage in a new kitchen and scorch marks from pans, on quartz, granite & marble and solid surface (such as Corian).
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
How we price worktop repair
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Hoswick. What changes the price is:
- How much damage there is
- The material
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The colour and finish to match
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.
How to get a fixed price
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- A wider photo showing the whole worktop
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- The material, if you know it
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
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 usually cheaper.

Hoswick questions
Can you match the pattern on my worktop?
Yes. We recreate the pattern by hand so it blends in.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Can a scorch mark be fixed?
Normally. A photo lets us check what’s possible.
Do I need to clear the kitchen?
Just clear the area around the damage. The rest is covered and protected.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Do you work in Hoswick?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Hoswick from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
What we do, step by step
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. It normally takes a few hours.
- First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
- Burnt or loose material is cut back.
- We fill and shape the damaged area.
- We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
- It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Ask for a price
You don’t 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 will come back to you with a fixed figure.

How to care for the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Steer clear of strong cleaners
- Keep wood oiled
- Wipe up spills quickly
- Dry around the sink and joints
Keep joints and the sink edge dry, particularly with laminate and timber.
Daily use can make burns and chips worse. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.

What your worktop is made of matters
Wood
Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, and burns and dents repaired.
Solid surface
Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so scratches and burns can frequently be sanded out and refinished.
Repairing versus replacing in Hoswick
Swollen or badly damaged laminate may need replacing. For chips, burns and scratches, a repair is the better value. Our worktop repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
