Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
How to care for the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Do not cut directly on the worktop
- Re-oil timber worktops
- Clean spills right away
- Do not knock pans against the edge
Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.
Edge chips can get bigger, and water can reach the core of laminate. Repairing it early stops that.

How we price worktop repair
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How much damage there is
- Whether we combine several jobs
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed quote
Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. It helps if you send:
- Something in shot to show the size
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Details of any past repairs
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Why repair rather than replace?
Even if you could get the same laminate, it may not match after years of light and use. We match the repair to your worktop as it is today. Our worktop repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Norham questions
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Can you repair a burn in a worktop?
In most cases. Send us a photo and we’ll tell you what’s possible.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Do you cover the entire of Northumberland?
All of Northumberland, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Different materials, different repairs
Laminate
Laminate is a printed surface bonded to a board. Damage is filled and the pattern painted in by hand.
Granite and stone
Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.
How it works
When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes a few hours, depending on the damage. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
- Burnt or loose material is cut back.
- The area is filled and shaped.
- We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
- It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Point us to the nearest place to park
How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the worktop, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
