How we handle worktop repair in Throckley

The hard part of a worktop repair is matching the pattern. Colour, flecks and veining are recreated by hand so the repair blends in. We work on granite & marble, solid wood and laminate, and the jobs we see most are dents and gouges and chips caused during installation.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Throckley and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

What we are called out for in Throckley

Around the sink, water gets into joints on laminate and wood, and that can make them swell.

  • Knife marks
  • Chips on edges and corners

Choosing a repair company

How to care for the repair

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Do not knock pans against the edge
  • Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
  • Keep a trivet by the hob
  • Don’t cut directly on the worktop

Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.

Daily use can make burns and chips worse. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.

How it works

We turn up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
  2. Burnt or loose material is cut back.
  3. The area is filled and shaped.
  4. The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
  5. It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Common questions in Throckley

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Do I need to clear the kitchen?

Only around the repair. The rest of the kitchen stays usable.

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Do you come to Throckley?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Throckley and the rest of Newcastle upon Tyne. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Which areas do you work in?

All of Newcastle upon Tyne, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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, a professional repair is worth it.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Throckley. The price reflects:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your pictures

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Any details about the material

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Should you replace it?

A new worktop means removing the old one, templating and fitting a replacement and refitting 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. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

What you get with us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Work done at your home or business

What a repair can’t fix

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Water-swollen laminate
  • A top that moves on its units
  • Through cracks in stone that is moving

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
