Worktop repair in Northdown, done in place
A new worktop rarely matches the old one, especially in an L-shaped or long kitchen. Repairing the damage keeps your kitchen as it is. Whether it’s snagging damage in a new kitchen and a damaged sink edge, we can help, on granite & marble, solid wood and solid surface (such as Corian) alike.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Northdown. The price reflects:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The colour and finish to match
- What kind of damage it is
- Doing more than one item at once
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
Phone photos are fine. Make sure they show:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Where you are, by postcode
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole worktop, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.
For landlords and businesses
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.
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.
What your worktop is made of matters
Laminate
Laminate is a printed surface over a board. We fill the damage and recreate the pattern by hand.
Wood
Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, and burns and dents repaired.
What we cannot put right
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Discolouration deep in quartz
- A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
- Laminate that has blown or swollen
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we repair
- Granite & marble
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Solid wood
- Laminate
- Quartz
Northdown: your questions answered
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
What happens after I send photos?
You will get a fixed quote back, normally with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Can you repair a burn in a worktop?
Typically. Send us a photo and we’ll tell you what’s possible.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

What else we do in Northdown
Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Oil wooden tops regularly
- Take care with heavy pans near edges
- Never put hot pans down directly
- Chopping boards prevent scratches
Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.
Daily use can make burns and chips worse, especially near the sink. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.
How it works
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- We start by checking the damage and the worktop material.
- We clean the area and prepare the edges of the damage.
- A filler that suits the material goes in, and missing edges are rebuilt.
- The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
- We seal or finish the surface to suit the worktop.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking or access
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Keep a parking space free if you can

Should you replace it?

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Northdown. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
