- We start by checking the damage and the worktop material.
- The area is cleaned and the edges of the damage prepared.
- We fill the damage with a suitable filler and build up any lost edge.
- The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
- Finally we seal or finish the area to match.

Worktop repair at your home in Sunniside
Different worktops need different repairs: laminate is filled and patterned, quartz and stone are filled and polished, and wood is sanded and refinished. The goal is always a repair that blends in. We work on quartz, laminate and solid surface (such as Corian), and people most often call us about a damaged sink edge and chips caused during installation.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

- Chips near the sink

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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.
For landlords and businesses
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Sunniside as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
How to care for the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Clean spills right away
- Use a chopping board
- Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
- Take care with heavy pans near edges
Leave the repaired area free of hot or heavy items until it has cured. After that, trivets and chopping boards are your best protection.
Edge chips can get bigger, and water can reach the core of laminate. Repairing it early stops that.

Across the UK, and that includes Sunniside. Prices don’t change with location.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Can you repair a burn in a worktop?
Generally. Send us a picture and we will tell you what’s possible.
What a repair cannot fix
A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- Laminate that has blown or swollen
- Cracks right through stone that has moved
- A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

What affects the price in Sunniside
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How much damage there is
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
How to get a fixed quote
Phone photos are fine. Ensure they show:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Details of any past repairs
- A photo taken from further back
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a worktop means removing the old one, templating and fitting a replacement and reconnecting the sink and hob, and matching the rest of the kitchen can be hard. A repair keeps your existing worktop. Our worktop repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. 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.
What you get with us
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- One price list for the entire UK
