Worktop repair in Newtown, done in place

Matching a pattern is the skilled part of a worktop repair. Colour, flecks and veining are recreated by hand so the repair blends in. Our repair technicians work on solid wood, quartz and laminate, and common reasons people contact us are a heat mark or burn and a dent from a dropped pan.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Newtown as everywhere else we work.

Common questions in Newtown

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Will the repair match a patterned worktop?

Yes. We recreate the pattern by hand.

How soon can you come?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

How to look after the repair

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Do not knock pans against the edge
  • Clean spills immediately
  • Chopping boards prevent scratches
  • Keep joints and edges dry

Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.

Don’t leave damage by the sink, because water gets in and swells the board.

Landlord and trade work in Newtown

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.

Do you need worktop repair in Newtown?

Worktops take more punishment than anything else in the kitchen. Hot pans leave burns, knives cut, and heavy pans chip the edges.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • Chips near the sink
  • Damage to a stone worktop
  • Scorch marks from pans
  • Damage from fitting or building work

What your quote should include

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What prep work is covered
  • How changes to the job are handled

Choosing a repair company

What a repair can’t fix

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • Severe heat marks in quartz
  • A cracked stone top that is unsupported
  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

What we work on

  • Quartz
  • Solid surface (such as Corian)
  • Laminate
  • Solid wood
  • Granite & marble

What happens on the day

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. The area around the damage is protected.
  2. We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
  3. We fill it and level it with the worktop.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal and polish it to the right sheen.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let us know about parking or access

Ask for a price

Email us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, with your TN8 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Related advice

What worktop repair costs

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material and finish
  • The type of damage
  • How many areas need work

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How to get a fixed quote

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • A wider photo showing the entire worktop
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Something in shot to show the size

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
