How the visit works

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job normally takes a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
  2. We cut back any burnt or loose material.
  3. The area is filled and shaped.
  4. We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
  5. We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Getting a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire worktop, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

About our worktop repair in Kibblesworth

Each type of worktop needs a different approach: we fill and pattern laminate, fill and polish quartz and stone, and sand and refinish wood. We always aim for a repair that blends in. Common call-outs are for a damaged sink edge and cuts and scratches in the surface, in quartz, laminate and solid surface (such as Corian).

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

FAQs for Kibblesworth

How do I book?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

What does worktop repair cost?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Can you repair a burn in a worktop?

Typically. Send us a picture and we will tell you what’s possible.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

For landlords and businesses

For anyone letting property in or around Kibblesworth, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Gateshead and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

What worktop repair costs

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How much damage there is

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Quotes from your pictures

Phone pictures are fine. Ensure they show:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

Looking after it afterwards

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Watch the edges with heavy pans
  • Don’t leave spills to soak in
  • Steer clear of strong cleaners
  • Do not cut directly on the worktop

Leave the repaired area free of hot or heavy items until it has cured. After that, trivets and chopping boards are your best protection.

Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, as water can get in and cause swelling.
