How we handle worktop repair in Newton

You do not need a new worktop because of one mark. The damage is filled and refinished to blend into the surface around it. Typical jobs include a chipped quartz edge and chips near the sink, in solid wood, quartz and granite & marble.

Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Granite and stone

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

Laminate

Laminate worktops have a printed decorative layer over a board core. Chips and burns are filled and the pattern recreated.

Common problems we fix in Newton

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

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • Damage to a stone worktop
  • A damaged sink edge
  • Damage from fitting or building work
  • Scratches and knife marks

How to compare quotes

What happens on the day

Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, depending on the damage, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. First we look at the damage and what the worktop is made of.
  2. Next we clean up and prepare the damaged area.
  3. A filler that suits the material goes in, and missing edges are rebuilt.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The surface is sealed or finished to suit the worktop.

How to prepare

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

How to get a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Advice

Aftercare tips

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

  • Take care with heavy pans near edges
  • Chopping boards prevent scratches
  • Keep wood oiled
  • Always use a trivet for hot pans

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

Do not leave damage by the sink, because water gets in and swells the board.

How we price worktop repair

Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What the surface is made of
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

How to get a fixed price

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The material, if you know it

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Newton: your questions answered

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide, so Newton is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Can a scorch mark be fixed?

Often, yes. We remove the damaged surface, fill it and recreate the pattern.

Do I need to clear the kitchen?

Only around the repair. You can normally still use the rest of the kitchen.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Can you match the pattern on my worktop?

Yes. We recreate the pattern by hand.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Repair or replace in Newton?

Even if you could get the same laminate, it may not match after years of light and use. We match the repair to your worktop as it is today. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

For landlords and businesses

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
