- Repairs from £95
- Scratches and knife marks
- Dents and gouges
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Northlew. What changes the price is:
- What the surface is made of
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many items we do on one visit
- Unusual colours or finishes
We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Quotes from your pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
How we handle worktop repair in Northlew
Pan burns, chipped edges and knife scratches are the most common worktop repairs. All are repaired in place. We regularly repair solid wood, solid surface (such as Corian) and laminate, and common reasons people contact us are damage around the sink cut-out and chips caused during installation.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it.

Northlew: your questions answered
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
How do I get a price for worktop repair in Northlew?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Repairing versus replacing in Northlew
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. 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 play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Work for landlords and builders
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
For anyone letting property in or around Northlew, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Oil wooden tops regularly
- Watch the edges with heavy pans
- Wipe up spills quickly
- Keep a trivet by the hob
Keep joints and the sink edge dry, especially on laminate and wood.
Daily use can make burns and chips worse particularly around the sink. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.
