Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep wood oiled
- Clean spills immediately
- Watch the edges with heavy pans
- Always use a trivet for hot pans
Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, particularly with laminate and timber.
A chip on an edge can grow, and water can reach the core of laminate. An early repair prevents it.

Advice
Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt isn’t 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 photos.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
When a repair isn’t the answer
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A cracked stone top that’s unsupported
- A top that moves on its units
- Laminate swollen by water from underneath
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Granite & marble

FAQs for Sunniside
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Sunniside. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Do I need to clear the kitchen?
Just clear the area around the damage. We protect the rest of the kitchen.

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
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. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A photo taken from further back
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Should you replace it?
An identical replacement may look different next to aged worktops. A repair is matched to what you have now. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Why us?
- Same prices wherever you are
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- Most jobs done in one visit
See our prices page.
For landlords and businesses
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.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Sunniside use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
