When to call us in Wylam
Most worktop damage takes a second: a hot pan set straight down, or a heavy pan catching the edge. Scratches build up more slowly, from knives and grit.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Burns from hot pans
- Dents and gouges
- Chips in quartz or granite
- Scratches and knife marks
What your quote should include

DIY kit or professional 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: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Your questions about worktop repair in Wylam
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Are there extra charges for Wylam?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
What happens after I send pictures?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
What your worktop is made of matters
Quartz
Quartz is tough, though edges can chip. 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 in Wylam?
Replacing a worktop means taking out the damaged top, cutting and fitting a new one and refitting the sink and hob, and it may not match the rest of the kitchen. A repair keeps your existing worktop. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best:
- Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
- Chopping boards prevent scratches
- Oil wooden tops regularly
- Never put hot pans down directly
Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe spills straight away, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.
Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, because water gets in and swells the board.
