Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
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, and the work is guaranteed.

FAQs for Newstead
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Do you charge for travel?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
What happens after I send pictures?
You’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no obligation to book.
Which areas do you work in?
The whole UK, including all of the Scottish Borders. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll confirm dates.
Can a quartz edge be fixed?
Yes. We repair quartz chips regularly, matched and polished.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Re-oil timber worktops
- Don’t leave spills to soak in
- Take care with heavy pans near edges
- Chopping boards prevent scratches
Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe spills immediately, and keep wooden tops oiled.
Daily use can make burns and chips worse particularly around the sink. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.
Repairing versus replacing in Newstead
A new worktop means taking out the damaged top, cutting and fitting a new one and reconnecting the sink and hob, and matching the rest of the kitchen can be hard. Repairing the damage keeps your existing worktop. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
