Worktop repair at your home in King's Newton
A damaged worktop does not have to mean a new kitchen. We fill and refinish the damage to blend into the surface around it. Our technicians work on solid wood, granite & marble and solid surface (such as Corian), and the jobs we see most are a dent from a dropped pan and snagging damage in a new kitchen.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit.

What else we do in King's Newton
How we price worktop repair
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including King's Newton. The price reflects:
- The colour and finish to match
- How many areas need work
- The material
- Doing more than one item at once
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The material, if you know it
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
The process
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- We protect the rest of the kitchen.
- The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
- It’s filled and levelled with the surface.
- The colour and pattern are built up by hand.
- The repair is sealed and polished to match.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the worktop, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Advice
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Take care with heavy pans near edges
- Keep wood oiled
- Keep joints and edges dry
- Chopping boards prevent scratches
Leave the repaired area free of hot or heavy items until it has cured. After that, trivets and chopping boards protect it best.
A burn or chip can get worse with daily use particularly around the sink. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.
FAQs for King's Newton
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Do you work in King's Newton?
We do. We send a technician to King's Newton for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
How do I book?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide, so King's Newton is covered. Prices don’t change with location.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
What happens if you find more damage?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
Repairs by material
Laminate
A laminate worktop is a thin decorative layer on a board. Damage is filled and the pattern painted in by hand.
Quartz
Quartz is crushed stone bound with resin. We fill and polish chipped edges.
Repair or replace in King's Newton?
An identical replacement may look different next to aged worktops. A repair is matched to what you have now. Prices start from £95. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
