When we would advise against a repair
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Cracks right through stone that has moved
- Failed support under the worktop
- Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Whickham
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Your questions about worktop repair in Whickham
Do you come to Whickham?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Whickham and the rest of Gateshead. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK, so Whickham is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
Is a burnt worktop repairable?
Normally. Send us a photo and we will tell you.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
- Do not leave spills to soak in
- Keep joints and edges dry
- Do not knock pans against the edge
Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe spills straight away, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.
Don’t leave damage by the sink, as water can get in and cause swelling.
Different materials, different repairs
Quartz
Quartz is hard, but its edges are brittle. We fill chips with a tinted resin and polish them.
Granite and stone
Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Stone and quartz tops are templated and cut to fit, so replacing one section is a big job. A repair takes a few hours. Our worktop repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

- We start by checking the damage and the worktop material.
- We clean the area and prepare the edges of the damage.
- We fill the damage with a suitable filler and build up any lost edge.
- The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
- Finally we seal or finish the area to match.
