What worktop repair costs
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- How many areas need work
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for New Shildon. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Send photos for a quote
Two or three clear photos are usually enough. Try to include:
- Natural light rather than flash

- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
For a price in New Shildon, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Keep a trivet by the hob
- Keep joints and edges dry
- Steer clear of strong cleaners
- Watch the edges with heavy pans
Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe spills right away, and keep wooden tops oiled.
Edge chips can get bigger, and on laminate, water can get into the core. An early repair prevents it.
Questions from New Shildon
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
How much does worktop repair cost in New Shildon?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your DL4 postcode.
Can you repair a chipped quartz worktop?
Yes. We repair quartz chips regularly, filled and polished to match.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Will the repair match a patterned worktop?
Colour, flecks and veins are recreated by hand, for a repair that blends in.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Repairs by material
Quartz
Quartz worktops are mostly stone set in resin. Edge chips are very common, and we fill and polish them to match the sheen.
Granite and stone
Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.
What we’re called out for in New Shildon
Most worktop damage takes a second: a hot pan set straight down, or a heavy pan catching the edge. Scratches build up gradually from knives and grit.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Gouges in the surface
- Burns from hot pans
- Chips near the sink
- A chipped edge

- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

Why repair rather than replace?
An identical replacement may look different next to aged worktops. A repair is matched to what you have now. Prices start from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

How the visit works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. It typically takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
- Burnt or loose material is cut back.
- We fill and shape the damaged area.
- The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
- We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
How to get a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
