Worktop repair at your home in Newtown Common

Different worktops need different repairs: laminate is filled and patterned, quartz and stone are filled and polished, and wood is sanded and refinished. The goal is always a repair that blends in. We regularly repair quartz, granite & marble and solid surface (such as Corian), and people most frequently call us about chipped corners and chips caused during installation.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

The worst damage often happens in a moment: a hot pan put down without a trivet, or a heavy pan knocked against the edge. Scratches build up gradually from knives and grit.

The things customers usually mention when they call include:

  • Damage from fitting or building work
  • Knife marks
  • Chips in quartz or granite
  • Chipped corners

How to compare quotes

Looking after it afterwards

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Use a chopping board
  • Never put hot pans down directly
  • Take care with heavy pans near edges
  • Oil wooden tops regularly

Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe spills straight away, and keep wooden tops oiled.

Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, as water can get in and cause swelling.

For landlords and businesses

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Newtown Common as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Repairs by material

Quartz

Quartz is tough, though edges can chip. Chips are filled with tinted resin and polished.

Solid surface

Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so scratches and burns can often be sanded out and refinished.

Newtown Common: your questions answered

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Newtown Common.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Can you quote from pictures?

Typically, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Which areas do you work in?

The entire UK, including all of West Berkshire. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll confirm dates.

Can you repair a chipped quartz worktop?

Yes. Chips on edges and around the sink are very common repairs, filled and polished to match.

Will the repair match a patterned worktop?

We match colour, flecks and veining by hand, for a repair that blends in.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new worktop means taking out the damaged top, templating and fitting a replacement and reconnecting 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. Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

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.

What happens on the day

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon, including clearing up.

  1. We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
  2. Burnt or loose material is cut back.
  3. We fill and shape the damaged area.
  4. The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
  5. It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
