About worktop repair in County Durham

A damaged worktop does not have to mean a new kitchen. We fill and refinish the damage to blend into the surface around it. Typical jobs include a chipped quartz edge and dents and gouges, in laminate, solid wood and solid surface (such as Corian).

The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. First we look at the damage and what the worktop is made of.
  2. The area is cleaned and the edges of the damage prepared.
  3. A filler that suits the material goes in, and missing edges are rebuilt.
  4. The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
  5. We seal or finish the surface to suit the worktop.

What’s near Durham

Typical jobs here are in homes near The Traveller's Rest Public House, St Leonard's Catholic School and Old Durham Gardens, among other places. You’ll also find Durham Sixth Form Centre (under half a mile south), United Reformed Church (within half a mile south), Durham University Library and Collections (1 mile south) and St Margaret's Church of England Primary School (0.9 miles south-west).

How to look after the repair

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Clean spills straight away
  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
  • Take care with heavy pans near edges
  • Never put hot pans down directly

Let the repair cure for the time we give you before putting anything heavy or hot on it. After that, trivets and chopping boards are your best protection.

A chip on an edge can grow, and on laminate, water can get into the core. An early repair prevents it.

What affects the price in County Durham

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How much damage there is
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.

Send pictures for a quote

You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • One picture of the whole worktop
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.

For landlords and businesses

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in County Durham use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

Different materials, different repairs

Wood

Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, and burns and dents repaired.

Solid surface

Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so scratches and burns can often be sanded out and refinished.

What a repair can’t fix

We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Cracks right through stone that has moved
  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
  • Discolouration deep in quartz

Common questions in County Durham

What happens next?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
