The process

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. Allow a morning or an afternoon.

  1. We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
  2. We cut back any burnt or loose material.
  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.

How to prepare

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Related advice

Different materials, different repairs

Quartz

Quartz worktops are mostly stone set in resin. Edge chips are very common, and we fill and polish them to match the sheen.

Laminate

Laminate is a printed surface bonded to a board. Damage is filled and the pattern painted in by hand.

Questions from Coundon Grange

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.

Can you match the pattern on my worktop?

Yes. We recreate the pattern by hand so it blends in.

Can a scorch mark be fixed?

In most cases. Send us a photo and we’ll tell you what’s possible.

Which areas do you work in?

We cover the entire UK, including Coundon Grange and the rest of County Durham. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.

Can a quartz edge be fixed?

Yes. Chips on edges and around the sink are very common repairs, matched and polished.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Do I need to clear the kitchen?

Just clear the area around the damage. We protect the rest of the kitchen.

Honest limits

We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Cracks right through stone that has moved
  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we repair

  • Granite & marble
  • Quartz
  • Solid surface (such as Corian)
  • Solid wood
  • Laminate

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material
  • How much damage there is

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

How to get a fixed quote

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • The material, if you know it
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

How to care for the repair

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Watch the edges with heavy pans
  • Wipe up spills quickly
  • Re-oil timber worktops
  • Keep joints and edges dry

Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.

A burn or chip can get worse with daily use. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.
