Worktop repair in Newtown Unthank, done in place
Each type of worktop needs a different approach: laminate is filled and patterned, quartz and stone are filled and polished, and wood is sanded and refinished. We always aim for a repair that blends in. Our repair technicians work on quartz, laminate and solid surface (such as Corian), and the jobs we see most are damage from fitting or building work and a damaged sink edge.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

The process
On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job normally takes a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We start by checking the damage and the worktop material.
- The area is cleaned and the edges of the damage prepared.
- A filler that suits the material goes in, and missing edges are rebuilt.
- We match the colour and pattern by hand.
- We seal or finish the surface to suit the worktop.
How to prepare
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
How to get a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.
Advice
How we price worktop repair
Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The type of damage
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from photos
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Something in shot to show the size
- What it’s made of, if you know
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Email us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Newtown Unthank, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

- Chips caused during installation
- Scratches and knife marks

- A damaged sink edge

What else we do in Newtown Unthank
Can I fix it myself?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Newtown Unthank questions
Do you cover Newtown Unthank?
We do. We send a technician to Newtown Unthank for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can a scorch mark be fixed?
In most cases. A picture lets us check.
Can you match the pattern on my worktop?
Colour, flecks and veins are recreated by hand, so the repair blends into the surface.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.

Landlord and trade work in Newtown Unthank
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
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.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Swollen or badly damaged laminate may need replacing. For chips, burns and scratches, a repair is the better value. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Newtown Unthank. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
