The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Why repair rather than replace?
An identical replacement may look different next to aged worktops. We match the repair to your worktop as it is today. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

What we do, step by step
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a few hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to look after it.
- We start by checking the damage and the worktop material.
- We clean the area and prepare the edges of the damage.
- A filler that suits the material goes in, and missing edges are rebuilt.
- We match the colour and pattern by hand.
- Finally we seal or finish the area to match.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Do you need worktop repair in Brafferton?
Worktops take more punishment than anything else in the kitchen. Hot pans leave burns, knives cut, and edges chip when heavy pans or tins hit them.
Customers generally contact us about:
- Dents and gouges
- Chips caused during installation
- A heat mark or burn
- A chipped edge
What to look for in a quote
- How to care for the finish
- When it can be used again
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- How the colour is matched
What we can’t put right
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
- A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
- Laminate swollen by water from underneath
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we repair
- Solid wood
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Laminate
- Granite & marble
- Quartz
Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Dry around the sink and joints
- Clean spills straight away
- Keep a trivet by the hob
- Use a chopping board
Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.
Do not leave damage by the sink, because water gets in and swells the board.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Darlington and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Brafferton: your questions answered
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work.

Repairs by material
Granite and stone
Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.
Laminate
Laminate is a printed surface bonded to a board. We fill damage and paint in the pattern by hand.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
A DIY attempt is not 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 pictures.
