How we handle worktop repair in Waterside

We repair worktops in place, with the rest of the kitchen protected. Most repairs take a few hours, and you can use the worktop again shortly afterwards. Our technicians work on solid wood, laminate and solid surface (such as Corian), and the jobs we see most are a dent from a dropped pan and scratches and knife marks.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back.

Chips in speckled granite tiles filled and colour matched, before and after

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What your worktop is made of matters

Granite and stone

Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.

Wood

Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, with burns and dents put right.

Prices and what affects them

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

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The type of damage
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

How to get a fixed quote

You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • Any details about the material
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One picture of the entire worktop

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole worktop, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

What we do, step by step

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
  2. Burnt or loose material is cut back.
  3. We fill and shape the damaged area.
  4. The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
  5. We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.

How to prepare

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Getting a price

Common questions in Waterside

Can a scorch mark be fixed?

Frequently, yes. The burn is cut back, filled and patterned to match.

Do I need to empty the worktop?

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

What happens after I send photos?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Are there extra charges for Waterside?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Is there a guarantee?

Aftercare tips

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Clean spills right away
  • Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
  • Never put hot pans down directly
  • Chopping boards prevent scratches

Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.

Don’t leave damage by the sink, as water can get in and cause swelling.
