DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Worktop repair at your home in Pickering Nook
Worktops are expensive to replace and hard to match, particularly where several lengths join. A repair leaves the kitchen untouched. Our repair technicians work on solid surface (such as Corian), granite & marble and quartz, and people most often call us about damage around the sink cut-out and knife marks.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

What a repair can’t fix

- Laminate swollen by water from underneath
- Through cracks in stone that is moving
- A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

The process
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours.
- 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 recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- Finally we seal or finish the area to match.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let us know about parking or access
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

Should you replace it?
Replacing a worktop means taking out the damaged top, cutting and fitting a new one and reconnecting the sink and hob, and matching the rest of the kitchen can be hard. A repair keeps your existing worktop. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

FAQs for Pickering Nook
What does worktop repair cost?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Which areas do you work in?
The entire UK, including all of Gateshead. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work.

What worktop repair costs
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The type of damage
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your pictures
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Something in shot to show the size
- A photo taken from further back
- Details of any past repairs
Upload photos of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Pickering Nook, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Never put hot pans down directly
- Dry around the sink and joints
- Use a chopping board
- Clean spills right away
Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.
A chip on an edge can grow, and water can reach the core of laminate. An early repair prevents it.
