Trusted worktop repair in Newtown

Repair or replace in Newtown?

Replacing a worktop means taking out the damaged top, cutting and fitting a new one and refitting the sink and hob, and matching the rest of the kitchen can be hard. Repairing the damage keeps your existing worktop. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. 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 make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What you get with us

  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

Worktop repair in Newtown without replacing anything

Pan burns, chipped edges and knife scratches are the most common worktop repairs. All are repaired in place. We’re frequently asked to fix damage to a stone worktop and a damaged sink edge, in granite & marble, solid wood and solid surface (such as Corian).

A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Newtown

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

How to care for the repair

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Watch the edges with heavy pans
  • Do not let water sit on joints
  • Keep a trivet by the hob
  • Re-oil timber worktops

Let the repair cure for the time we give you before putting anything heavy or hot on it. After that, trivets and chopping boards protect it best.

A chip on an edge can grow, and water can reach the core of laminate. An early repair prevents it.

What we can’t put right

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Laminate that has blown or swollen
  • Discolouration deep in quartz
  • Failed support under the worktop

Choosing a repair company

Newtown questions

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

What does worktop repair cost?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

Is there a call-out fee?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

What happens after I send pictures?

We come back with a fixed quote, normally with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

How it works

You do not need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. It usually takes a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. We start by checking the damage and the worktop material.
  2. Next we clean up and prepare the damaged area.
  3. A filler that suits the material goes in, and missing edges are rebuilt.
  4. The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
  5. The surface is sealed or finished to suit the worktop.

How to prepare

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Ensure the area is dry

Different materials, different repairs

Solid surface

Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so marks can often be sanded and refinished.

Laminate

Laminate is a printed surface over a board. We fill the damage and recreate the pattern.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
