Whether it’s snagging damage in a new kitchen and chips on edges and corners, we can generally put it right, on laminate, solid surface (such as Corian) and granite & marble alike.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Wrekenton and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Repair or replace in Wrekenton?
Even a single new length of worktop means templating, cutting and refitting the sink and hob. A repair takes a few hours and leaves everything in place. Prices start from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
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.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Wrekenton. The price comes down to:
- The material
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Do you need worktop repair in Wrekenton?
Most chips are on edges and corners, frequently when something heavy catches the edge.
The things customers generally mention when they call include:
- A dent from a dropped pan
- Damage to a stone worktop
- A damaged sink edge
- Burns from hot pans
What to look for in a quote
- Aftercare advice
- How changes to the job are handled
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
- Keep joints and edges dry
- Use a chopping board
- Keep a trivet by the hob
Keep joints and the sink edge dry, particularly with laminate and timber.
Do not leave damage by the sink, because water gets in and swells the board.

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, including clearing up.
- First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
- We cut back any burnt or loose material.
- We fill and shape the damaged area.
- The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
- It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit

- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire worktop, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
