Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Don’t cut directly on the worktop
- Always use a trivet for hot pans
- Wipe up spills quickly
- Steer clear of strong cleaners
Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.
Do not leave damage by the sink, because water gets in and swells the board.
Landlord and trade work in Newtown
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Newtown use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
How we price worktop repair
Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Newtown. The price comes down to:
- Doing more than one item at once
- How many areas need work
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your photos
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- Any details about the material
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Quartz
Quartz is tough, though edges can chip. We fill chips with a tinted resin and polish them.
Wood
Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, with burns and dents put right.
FAQs for Newtown
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, generally with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.
Do I need to empty the worktop?
Just near the damage. You can typically still use the rest of the kitchen.
Can a quartz edge be fixed?
Yes. Chips on edges and around the sink are very common repairs, filled and polished to match.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
The process
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We protect the rest of the kitchen.
- We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
- We fill it and level it with the worktop.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- We seal and polish it to the right sheen.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking or access
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Signs you need worktop repair in Newtown
Around the sink, water gets into joints on laminate and wood, which can cause swelling.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- A heat mark or burn
- Dents and gouges
- Chips caused during installation
- Chips on edges and corners
Questions to ask before you book
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Aftercare advice
- How the colour is matched
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
When a repair isn’t the answer
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
- Laminate swollen by water from underneath
- Severe heat marks in quartz
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
