Worktop repair in Murton, done in place

A new worktop rarely matches the old one, particularly where several lengths join. A repair leaves the kitchen untouched. We’re frequently asked to fix dents and gouges and cuts and scratches in the surface, across solid surface (such as Corian), solid wood and granite & marble.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it.

10 questions to ask before you book

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Murton questions

Can you match granite flecks?

Yes. We recreate the pattern by hand.

Are there extra charges for Murton?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Which areas do you work in?

The whole UK, including all of North Tyneside. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

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

How do I get a price for worktop repair in Murton?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

Can a quartz edge be fixed?

Yes. We match the colour and polish the repair.

Work for landlords and builders

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in North Tyneside and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details.

Keeping it looking good

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Oil wooden tops regularly
  • Dry around the sink and joints
  • Keep a trivet by the hob
  • Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz

Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe up spills promptly, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.

A burn or chip can get worse with daily use particularly around the sink. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.

The process

We turn up when we said we would and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We start by checking the damage and the worktop material.
  2. Next we clean up and prepare the damaged area.
  3. A filler that suits the material goes in, and missing edges are rebuilt.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal or finish the surface to suit the worktop.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Getting a price

What affects the price in Murton

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • How many areas need work
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
