What happens on the day

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Allow a few hours, depending on the damage from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We assess the damage and the worktop material.
  2. We clean the area and prepare the edges of the damage.
  3. We fill with a filler suited to the material and rebuild any missing edge.
  4. The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
  5. We seal or finish the surface to suit the worktop.

Before we arrive

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

How we handle worktop repair in New Town

We repair worktops in place, with the rest of the kitchen protected. Most repairs take a few hours, and the worktop can be used again soon after. Typical jobs include a chipped quartz edge and chips on edges and corners, in solid wood, laminate and granite & marble.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

For landlords and businesses

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in New Town use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

Aftercare tips

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Take care with heavy pans near edges
  • Keep wood oiled
  • Keep a trivet by the hob
  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone

Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.

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

What a repair can’t fix

Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:

  • Water-swollen laminate
  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
  • A cracked stone top that is unsupported

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

What we work on

  • Granite & marble
  • Solid wood
  • Laminate
  • Solid surface (such as Corian)
  • Quartz

Common questions in New Town

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Can you match granite flecks?

Colour, flecks and veins are recreated by hand, for a repair that blends in.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Are there extra charges for New Town?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

When to call us in New Town

Cut-outs for the sink and hob are the weakest parts, and that is where cracks frequently begin.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • Cuts and scratches in the surface
  • A chipped quartz edge
  • Chipped corners
  • Chips caused during installation

Questions to ask before booking

  • Aftercare advice
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • How soon you can use it again
  • How the colour is matched

Our hiring checklist

Repair or replace: which is better?

Stone and quartz tops are templated and cut to fit, so replacing one section is a big job. Repairing it is a few hours’ work. Our worktop repair starts from £95. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why New Town customers choose us

  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • One visit for most repairs
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
