Worktop Repair in Newbie
Chip, burn and scratch repairs to kitchen and bathroom worktops for homes and businesses in Newbie and across Dumfries and Galloway. Free, fixed quotes from your photos.
- Repairs from £95
- Damage around the sink cut-out
- Damage from fitting or building work
How to care for the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Keep joints and edges dry
- Take care with heavy pans near edges
- Re-oil timber worktops
- Steer clear of strong cleaners
Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, particularly with laminate and timber.
Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, because water gets in and swells the board.
Worktop repair at your home in Newbie
You don’t need a new worktop because of one mark. We fill and refinish the damage so it blends into the pattern. Common call-outs are for chips caused during installation and scorch marks from pans, on solid surface (such as Corian), solid wood and quartz.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

What worktop repair costs
Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Newbie. The price comes down to:
- The material
- How many items we do on one visit
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
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 pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
Quotes from your photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- The material, if you know it
- Where you are, by postcode
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

What we do, step by step
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow a few hours, depending on the damage from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to look after it.
- The area around the damage is protected.
- We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
- We fill it and level it with the worktop.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- We seal and polish it to the right sheen.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Granite and stone
Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.
Solid surface
Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so marks can frequently be sanded and refinished.
For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Dumfries and Galloway and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
