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 frequently lifts.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Do you need worktop repair in Westoe?
Cut-outs for the sink and hob are the weakest parts, so cracks and chips frequently start there.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- A damaged sink edge
- Chips in quartz or granite
- Knife marks
- Chips on edges and corners

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Are you a vetted contractor?

Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Will the repair match a patterned worktop?
Colour, flecks and veins are recreated by hand, for a repair that blends in.
How do I get a price for worktop repair in Westoe?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Westoe and the rest of South Tyneside. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a worktop means removing the old one, cutting and fitting a new one and reconnecting the sink and hob, and it may not match the rest of the kitchen. Repairing the damage leaves the worktop in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Westoe. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What affects the price in Westoe
Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Westoe. The price comes down to:
- How much damage there is
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Unusual colours or finishes
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Getting a price from photos
You can take the pictures on your phone. Just make sure we can see:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
- Keep joints and edges dry
- Keep wood oiled
- Keep a trivet by the hob
Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.
A chip on an edge can grow, and on laminate, water can get into the core. Repairing it early stops that.
Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
- Through cracks in stone that is moving
- Laminate swollen by water from underneath
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

- Quartz
- Solid wood
