Worktop repair in New Coundon, done in place
A damaged worktop doesn’t have to mean a new kitchen. We fill and refinish the damage so it blends into the pattern. Our technicians work on laminate, solid surface (such as Corian) and granite & marble, and the jobs we see most are a dent from a dropped pan and damage from fitting or building work.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Chopping boards prevent scratches
- Keep joints and edges dry
- Watch the edges with heavy pans
- Always use a trivet for hot pans
Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.
A chip on an edge can grow, and water can reach the core of laminate. Repairing it early stops that.
When we would advise against a repair
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Through cracks in stone that is moving
- Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
- Laminate swollen by water from underneath
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we repair

DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

New Coundon questions
What does worktop repair cost?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your DL14 postcode.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can you repair a burn in a worktop?
In most cases. A photo lets us check.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
