DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
How we handle worktop repair in Newmill
We repair worktops in place. Most repairs take a few hours, and you can use the worktop again shortly afterwards. Whether it’s scorch marks from pans and chips caused during installation, we can help, on granite & marble, laminate and quartz alike.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit.

Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Chopping boards prevent scratches
- Oil wooden tops regularly
- Clean spills immediately
- Don’t let water sit on joints
Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe spills right away, and keep wooden tops oiled.
Daily use can make burns and chips worse particularly around the sink. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.
FAQs for Newmill
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
What do you need from me?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
What does worktop repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your TD9 postcode.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Do you repair quartz?
Yes. We repair quartz chips regularly, filled and polished to match.
Is a burnt worktop repairable?
Usually. A photo lets us check what’s possible.
Work for landlords and builders
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in the Scottish Borders and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
What we are called out for in Newmill
Cut-outs for the sink and hob are the weakest parts, so cracks and chips frequently start there.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Chips in quartz or granite
- Dents and gouges
- Damage around the sink cut-out
- Chipped corners

What affects the price in Newmill
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material and finish
- How much damage there is
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Quotes from your photos
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- Any details about the material
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the worktop, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
