About our worktop repair in Scotswood

A worktop repair is carried out in your kitchen, with the area around the damage covered. Most jobs take a few hours, and the worktop can be used again soon after. We work on laminate, granite & marble and solid surface (such as Corian), and common reasons people get in touch are a heat mark or burn and damage around the sink cut-out.

All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Newcastle upon Tyne.

When a repair is not the answer

A repair isn’t right for every job, including:

  • Laminate that has blown or swollen
  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
  • A top that moves on its units

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

What we work on

  • Laminate
  • Solid wood
  • Solid surface (such as Corian)
  • Quartz
  • Granite & marble

How we price worktop repair

Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material and finish

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.

How to get a fixed price

Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. It helps if you send:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A wider photo showing the entire worktop
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Natural light rather than flash

If you’re in Scotswood and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Signs you need worktop repair in Scotswood

Around the sink, water gets into joints on laminate and wood, which can cause swelling.

Customers normally contact us about:

  • Cuts and scratches in the surface
  • A chipped edge
  • Damage from fitting or building work
  • Scorch marks from pans

What your quote should include

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • When it can be used again
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

Our hiring checklist

Aftercare tips

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Dry around the sink and joints
  • Keep wood oiled
  • Take care with heavy pans near edges
  • Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz

Leave the repaired area free of hot or heavy items until it has cured. After that, trivets and chopping boards are your best protection.

A chip on an edge can grow, and on laminate, water can get into the core. Repairing it early stops that.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Scotswood

Letting agents frequently send us photos 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.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

What we do, step by step

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We start by checking the damage and the worktop material.
  2. The area is cleaned and the edges of the damage prepared.
  3. We fill the damage with a suitable filler and build up any lost edge.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The surface is sealed or finished to suit the worktop.

Before we arrive

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Ask for a price
