Worktop repair for Newington homes

Worktop repair at your home in Newington

Each type of worktop needs a different approach: laminate is filled and patterned, quartz and stone are filled and polished, and wood is sanded and refinished. We always aim for a repair that blends in. If you’re dealing with damage from fitting or building work and chips on edges and corners, we can help.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

How to care for the repair

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Use a chopping board
  • Dry around the sink and joints
  • Take care with heavy pans near edges
  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone

Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, especially on laminate and wood.

Don’t leave damage by the sink, as water can get in and cause swelling.

The process

When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job normally takes a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
  2. We cut back any burnt or loose material.
  3. We fill and shape the damaged area.
  4. We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
  5. It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Advice

Should you replace it?

Replacing even one length of worktop means templating, cutting, fitting and often a new sink and hob connection. A repair is a few hours with everything left in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • No need to remove anything

How to compare quotes

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Newington

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

When we’d advise against a repair

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath
  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
  • Cracks right through stone that has moved

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we repair

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

Questions from Newington

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

What happens after I send photos?

We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.

What information do you need?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Do you repair quartz?

Yes. We repair quartz chips regularly, filled and polished to match.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Solid surface

Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so marks can often be sanded and refinished.

Granite and stone

Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.
