Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a worktop means taking out the damaged top, 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 keeps your existing worktop. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

- First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
- Burnt or loose material is cut back.
- We fill and shape the damaged area.
- The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
- It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.

Advice
Landlords, agents and businesses in Newton Ferrers
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Newton Ferrers use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details.
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Keep wood oiled
- Keep a trivet by the hob
- Keep joints and edges dry
- Wipe up spills quickly
Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.
A burn or chip can get worse with daily use particularly around the sink. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.

Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Common questions in Newton Ferrers
Do you repair quartz?
Yes, often. The repair is colour-matched and polished to the quartz’s finish.
How do I book?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
What happens next?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Can you repair a burn in a worktop?
Typically, yes. The burn is cut back, filled and patterned to match.
