About our worktop repair in Chester-le-Street
You do not need a new worktop because of one mark. We fill and refinish the damage so it blends into the pattern. Whether it’s a heat mark or burn and a damaged sink edge, we can help, on granite & marble, solid surface (such as Corian) and quartz alike.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

How to look after the repair
Aftercare is simple:
- Oil wooden tops regularly
- Keep a trivet by the hob
- Do not let water sit on joints
- Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
Keep joints and the sink edge dry, particularly with laminate and timber.
A chip on an edge can grow, and on laminate, water can get into the core. Repairing it early stops that.

Work for landlords and builders
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Should you replace it?
Swollen or badly damaged laminate may need replacing. For chips, burns and scratches, a repair is the better value. Our worktop repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Why us?

Should I try a DIY kit first?
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: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
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 then the old filler has to be removed first.
How we price worktop repair
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- How many areas need work
- The material and finish
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What kind of damage it is
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
How to get a fixed price
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
When we’d advise against a repair
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:
- A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
- Cracks right through stone that has moved
- Water-swollen laminate

Common questions in Chester-le-Street
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
What happens next?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, normally with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Will the repair match a patterned worktop?
Colour, flecks and veins are recreated by hand, for a repair that blends in.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
What do you need from me?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
