DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you’re 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 fails, we can still put it right.
Worktop repair at your home in Swalwell
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 granite & marble, laminate and solid surface (such as Corian), and people most frequently call us about cuts and scratches in the surface and a dent from a dropped pan.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it.

What we cannot put right
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- Discolouration deep in quartz
- 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 before booking.

Advice
What worktop repair costs
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material and finish
- How much damage there is
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Send pictures for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Any details about the material
- Natural light rather than flash
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- One picture of the whole worktop
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a worktop means taking out the damaged top, cutting and fitting a new one and reconnecting the sink and hob, and it may not match the rest of the kitchen. A repair leaves the worktop in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Keep wood oiled
- Keep joints and edges dry
- Chopping boards prevent scratches
- Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe up spills promptly, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.
Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, as water can get in and cause swelling.
Common problems we fix in Swalwell
Worktops take more punishment than anything else in the kitchen. Hot pans leave burns, knives cut, and edges chip when heavy pans or tins hit them.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Chips near the sink
- Scratches and knife marks
- Chips caused during installation
- Dents and gouges
What your quote should include
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What aftercare is recommended
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
