Worktop repair at your home in Newton
A damaged worktop does not have to mean a new kitchen. The damage is filled and refinished so it blends into the pattern. We’re frequently asked to fix snagging damage in a new kitchen and a damaged sink edge, in quartz, solid wood and granite & marble.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Newton and across Wirral.

Repairing versus replacing in Newton
A new worktop means taking out the damaged top, cutting and fitting a new one and refitting the sink and hob, and it may not match the rest of the kitchen. Repairing the damage keeps your existing worktop. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Always use a trivet for hot pans
- Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
- Do not leave spills to soak in
- Keep wood oiled
Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.
Daily use can make burns and chips worse, especially near the sink. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.
What happens on the day
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- We start by checking the damage and the worktop material.
- Next we clean up and prepare the damaged area.
- We fill the damage with a suitable filler and build up any lost edge.
- We match the colour and pattern by hand.
- The surface is sealed or finished to suit the worktop.
Before we arrive
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Clear the area around the damage

What affects the price in Newton
Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Newton. The price depends on:
- How hard the colour is to match
- What the surface is made of
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The type of damage
We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
How to get a fixed price
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- The material, if you know it
- A picture taken from further back
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
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, it’s worth having it done properly.
What we cannot put right
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- A cracked stone top that is unsupported
- Severe heat marks in quartz
- A top that moves on its units
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Questions from Newton
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.
How soon can you come?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Do I need to clear the kitchen?
Only around the repair. The rest of the kitchen stays usable.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
