Worktop repair in Northwood, done in place
Worktops are expensive to replace and hard to match, particularly where several lengths join. Repairing the damage keeps your kitchen as it is. Our repair technicians work on quartz, solid surface (such as Corian) and laminate, and common reasons people get in touch are snagging damage in a new kitchen and gouges in the surface.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back.

The process
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. 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 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.
- We match the colour and pattern by hand.
- Finally we seal or finish the area to match.
Before we arrive
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
Ask for a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
- Laminate that has blown or swollen
- A cracked stone top that’s unsupported
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Quartz
- Laminate
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Granite & marble
- Solid wood
Repairs by material
Solid surface
Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so marks can frequently be sanded and refinished.
Quartz
Quartz is hard, but its edges are brittle. We fill chips with a tinted resin and polish them to the worktop’s finish.
Should you replace it?
An identical replacement may look different next to aged worktops. We match the repair to your worktop as it is today. Our worktop repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How to care for the repair
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Steer clear of strong cleaners
- Do not knock pans against the edge
- Use a chopping board
- Keep wood oiled
Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe spills immediately, and keep wooden tops oiled.
A chip on an edge can grow, and on laminate, water can get into the core. An early repair prevents it.

Northwood questions
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Do I need to clear the kitchen?
Just near the damage. The rest of the kitchen stays usable.
When can you do it?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
What affects the price in Northwood
Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Northwood. The price comes down to:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Doing more than one item at once
- The size and number of damaged areas
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. 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.
Quotes from your photos
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Northwood, and we will reply with a fixed price.
For landlords and businesses
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
