Worktop repair in Coundon, County Durham
Chip, burn and scratch repairs to kitchen and bathroom worktops at your home in Coundon, with a one-year guarantee on every repair.
- Repairs from £95
- Burns from hot pans
- Chips on edges and corners
Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best:
- Always use a trivet for hot pans
- Use a chopping board
- Oil wooden tops regularly
- Take care with heavy pans near edges
Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe spills right away, 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
Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Coundon. The price comes down to:
- Doing more than one item at once
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How easy the damage is to reach
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
How to get a fixed price
Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A wider photo showing the whole worktop

Questions from Coundon
Can you match granite flecks?
Yes. We recreate the pattern by hand.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can tenants book a repair?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
How much do I need to move?
Just clear the area around the damage. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
Are there extra charges for Coundon?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

More services for Coundon
Different materials, different repairs
Granite and stone
Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.
Laminate
Laminate is a printed surface bonded to a board. Damage is filled and the pattern painted in by hand.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, 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.
