How the visit works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon for most jobs. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.

  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 recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The surface is sealed or finished to suit the worktop.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Let us know about parking or access

Advice

Worktop repair in New Lambton, done in place

We repair worktops in place. Most jobs take a few hours, and the worktop can be used again soon after. If you are dealing with chips near the sink and scorch marks from pans, we can normally put it right, on solid wood, laminate and solid surface (such as Corian) alike.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Aftercare tips

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Steer clear of strong cleaners
  • Do not leave spills to soak in
  • Keep wood oiled
  • Dry around the sink and joints

Keep joints and the sink edge dry, especially on laminate and wood.

Don’t leave damage by the sink, because water gets in and swells the board.

Signs you need worktop repair in New Lambton

Sink and hob cut-outs are weak points, so cracks and chips frequently start there.

Customers generally contact us about:

  • Dents and gouges
  • A heat mark or burn
  • Scratches and knife marks
  • Damage around the sink cut-out

Choosing a repair company

How we price worktop repair

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

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The type of damage
  • The size and number of damaged areas

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Send photos for a quote

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Honest limits

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • Laminate that has blown or swollen
  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in New Lambton

Repairing versus replacing in New Lambton

If the worktop is swollen by water or badly damaged along its length, replacement may be the answer. For chips, burns and scratches, a repair is the better value. Our worktop repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why book with us

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

Different materials, different repairs

Quartz

Quartz worktops are mostly stone set in resin. We fill and polish chipped edges.

Granite and stone

Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.
