What a repair can’t fix

- Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
- A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
- Laminate that has blown or swollen
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Laminate
Laminate is a printed surface bonded to a board. Damage is filled and the pattern painted in by hand.
Granite and stone
Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.
West Allotment questions
Do you cover the entire of North Tyneside?
All of North Tyneside, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Can you match granite flecks?
We match colour, flecks and veining by hand, so the repair blends into the surface.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
- Keep wood oiled
- Don’t leave spills to soak in
- Don’t cut directly on the worktop
Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, particularly with laminate and timber.
A burn or chip can get worse with daily use, especially near the sink. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.
Landlord and trade work in West Allotment
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in West Allotment use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing even one length of worktop means templating, cutting, fitting and often a new sink and hob connection. A repair takes a few hours and leaves everything in place. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

What worktop repair costs
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- How much damage there is
- Access to the area
- The material and finish
- How hard the colour is to match
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for West Allotment. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
Phone photos are fine. Make sure they show:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Where you are, by postcode
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.
