What worktop repair costs
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- How many areas need work
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Access to the area
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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Quotes from your pictures
Two or three clear photos are usually enough. It helps if you send:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A picture taken from further back
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- 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 entire worktop, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Worktop repair in Northlea, done in place
Each type of worktop needs a different approach: we fill and pattern laminate, fill and polish quartz and stone, and sand and refinish wood. We always aim for a repair that blends in. Typical jobs include scorch marks from pans and a chipped quartz edge, across laminate, granite & marble and solid wood.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What your worktop is made of matters
Solid surface
Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so scratches and burns can often be sanded out and refinished.
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
We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, depending on the damage, and we leave the room as we found it.
- The area around the damage is protected.
- We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
- We fill it and level it with the worktop.
- The colour and pattern are built up by hand.
- We seal and polish it to the right sheen.
Preparing for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire worktop, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

When a repair is not the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
- Water-swollen laminate
- Failed support under the worktop
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we work on in Northlea

When to call us in Northlea
Sink and hob cut-outs are weak points, so cracks and chips frequently start there.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- A chipped edge
- Scorch marks from pans
- Chips near the sink
- Damage from fitting or building work
What your quote should include
- When it can be used again
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How the room is protected while they work
Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep joints and edges dry
- Wipe up spills quickly
- Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
- Oil wooden tops regularly
Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, particularly with laminate and timber.
Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, as water can get in and cause swelling.
Repairing versus replacing in Northlea
Even a single new length of worktop means templating, cutting and refitting the sink and hob. A repair takes a few hours and leaves everything in place. Our worktop repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

- Most jobs done in one visit
- A fixed quote before you book
- No extra charge for your area

FAQs for Northlea
Can tenants book a repair?

Can you match granite flecks?

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

How much does worktop repair cost in Northlea?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
