Our hiring checklist

Repairing versus replacing in Consett

Replacing a worktop means removing the old one, cutting and fitting a new one and refitting the sink and hob, and matching the rest of the kitchen can be hard. A repair leaves the worktop in place. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why book with us

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Everything repaired in place
  • One price list for the entire UK

Keeping it looking good

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Steer clear of strong cleaners
  • Don’t cut directly on the worktop
  • Keep joints and edges dry
  • Don’t knock pans against the edge

Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe up spills promptly, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.

Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, because water gets in and swells the board.

What worktop repair costs

Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Consett. The price comes down to:

  • The type of damage
  • Access to the area
  • How many areas need work
  • The colour and finish to match

A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed price

You can take the photos on your phone. Ensure they show:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Any details about the material
  • One picture of the whole worktop
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole worktop, we can price the job.

Common questions in Consett

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Can a quartz edge be fixed?

Yes, frequently. We match the colour and polish the repair.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Do you come to Consett?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Consett from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire worktop and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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 do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

How it works

Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
  2. Burnt or loose material is cut back.
  3. The area is filled and shaped.
  4. We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
  5. We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Getting a price

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
