When a repair is not the answer
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
- A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
- Through cracks in stone that is moving
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Quartz

What worktop repair costs
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Barnard Castle. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Quotes from your photos
You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- One picture of the entire worktop
- Where you are, by postcode
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The material, if you know it
To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Wood
Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, with burns and dents put right.
Granite and stone
Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.
Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Repairing versus replacing in Barnard Castle
Stone and quartz have to be templated and cut, so replacing one section is a big job. A repair takes a few hours. Prices start from £95. What it costs 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 quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
- Wipe up spills quickly
- Chopping boards prevent scratches
- Keep joints and edges dry
Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe spills right away, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.
Daily use can make burns and chips worse. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.
