Your questions about worktop repair in Old Newton
Do I need to empty the worktop?
Just near the damage. The rest of the kitchen stays usable.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Suffolk.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
What does worktop repair cost?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
What affects the price in Old Newton
Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Old Newton. What changes the price is:
- The type of damage
- How much damage there is
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
How to get a fixed price
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Details of any past repairs
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 we will reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Repair or replace in Old Newton?
If the worktop is swollen by water or badly damaged along its length, replacement may be the answer. For chips, burns and scratches, repair is typically far better value. Our worktop repair starts from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Work for landlords and builders
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.
Honest limits
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Laminate that has blown or swollen
- A top that moves on its units
- Discolouration deep in quartz
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Solid wood
- Quartz
- Laminate
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Granite & marble
Different materials, different repairs
Granite and stone
Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.
Laminate
Laminate worktops have a printed decorative layer over a board core. Chips and burns are filled and the pattern recreated by hand.
The process
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
- We cut back any burnt or loose material.
- We fill and shape the damaged area.
- The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
- We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.
How to prepare
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
How to get a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best:
- Do not cut directly on the worktop
- Take care with heavy pans near edges
- Do not let water sit on joints
- Re-oil timber worktops
Leave the repaired area free of hot or heavy items until it has cured. After that, trivets and chopping boards protect it best.
Edge chips can get bigger, and water can reach the core of laminate. An early repair prevents it.
