What we do, step by step

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which typically takes a few hours, depending on the damage. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. First we look at the damage and what the worktop is made of.
  2. The area is cleaned and the edges of the damage prepared.
  3. We fill the damage with a suitable filler and build up any lost edge.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal or finish the surface to suit the worktop.

How to prepare

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Clear the area around the damage

What worktop repair costs

Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Norden. What changes the price is:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many areas need work

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to get a fixed price

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Aftercare tips

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Don’t cut directly on the worktop
  • Re-oil timber worktops
  • Never put hot pans down directly
  • Dry around the sink and joints

Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe up spills promptly, and keep wooden tops oiled.

Don’t leave damage by the sink, as water can get in and cause swelling.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Questions from Norden

Do you come to Norden?

We do. Technicians travel to Norden from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

Is a burnt worktop repairable?

Usually, yes. The burn is cut back, filled and patterned to match.

Can you match granite flecks?

We match colour, flecks and veining by hand, so the repair blends into the surface.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Do I need to empty the worktop?

Just near the damage. The rest of the kitchen stays usable.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

For landlords and businesses

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
