What we’re called out for in Newhey
Worktops take more punishment than anything else in the kitchen. Hot pans leave burns, knives cut, and heavy pans chip the edges.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Damage to a stone worktop
- Damage around the sink cut-out
- Gouges in the surface
- A heat mark or burn
What your quote should include
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- What preparation is included
- What protection goes down before work starts
- How long it needs to cure
What worktop repair costs
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- What the surface is made of
- How much damage there is
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Doing more than one item at once
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
Quotes from your photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Most customers in Newhey get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
What your worktop is made of matters
Laminate
Laminate is a printed surface bonded to a board. Damage is filled and the pattern painted in by hand.
Solid surface
Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so scratches and burns can often be sanded out and refinished.
When a repair is not the answer
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Failed support under the worktop
- Discolouration deep in quartz
- Water-swollen laminate
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
Materials we work on in Newhey
- Granite & marble
- Laminate
- Solid surface (such as Corian)

Repair or replace: which is better?
Stone and quartz tops are templated and cut to fit, so replacing a section takes time and money. A repair takes a few hours. Our worktop repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Why us?
- Fixed prices from your pictures
- We leave the room as we found it
- No extra charge for your area
- A year’s guarantee on all work

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Take care with heavy pans near edges
- Oil wooden tops regularly
- Always use a trivet for hot pans
- Don’t cut directly on the worktop
Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.
Don’t leave damage by the sink, as water can get in and cause swelling.
How the visit works
On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job generally takes a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We assess the damage and the worktop material.
- Next we clean up and prepare the damaged area.
- We fill the damage with a suitable filler and build up any lost edge.
- We match the colour and pattern by hand.
- Finally we seal or finish the area to match.
Before we arrive
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Clear the area around the damage
- Have a window or extractor fan available

FAQs for Newhey
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Are there extra charges for Newhey?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
