How it works

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
  2. We cut back any burnt or loose material.
  3. The area is filled and shaped.
  4. We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
  5. We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Keeping it looking good

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Don’t let water sit on joints
  • Use a chopping board
  • Take care with heavy pans near edges
  • Oil wooden tops regularly

Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, particularly with laminate and timber.

Edge chips can get bigger, and on laminate, water can get into the core. An early repair prevents it.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How many areas need work
  • What the surface is made of
  • The colour and finish to match

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.

Getting a price from pictures

Phone photos are fine. Make sure they show:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A wider photo showing the whole worktop
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any details about the material

Email us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Newnham, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Work for landlords and builders

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

If you manage property in Newnham, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.

FAQs for Newnham

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Will you leave a mess?

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

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Do you work in Newnham?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Newnham. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Can you match granite flecks?

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

Which areas do you work in?

The whole UK, including all of Hertfordshire. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Wood

Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, and burns and dents repaired.

Quartz

Quartz is crushed stone bound with resin. We fill and polish chipped edges to match the sheen.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

Do you need worktop repair in Newnham?

Kitchen worktops have a hard life. Hot pans leave burns, knives cut, and edges chip when heavy pans or tins hit them.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Chips caused during installation
  • A dent from a dropped pan
  • Chipped corners
  • Knife marks

Comparing quotes

  • How soon you can use it again
  • What prep work is covered
  • How to look after the finish
  • If travel is included in the price

Choosing a repair company

Why repair rather than replace?

A new worktop means removing the old one, cutting and fitting a new one and refitting the sink and hob, and matching the rest of the kitchen can be hard. Repairing the damage leaves the worktop in place. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
