Worktop repair in Crossgate without replacing anything

You don’t need a new worktop because of one mark. The damage is filled and refinished so it blends into the pattern. We regularly repair solid surface (such as Corian), quartz and laminate, and common reasons people contact us are a chipped quartz edge and chips on edges and corners.

Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in County Durham.

How to compare quotes

DIY kit or professional repair?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

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.

What your worktop is made of matters

Solid surface

Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so scratches and burns can often be sanded out and refinished.

Granite and stone

Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.

Keeping it looking good

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Keep a trivet by the hob
  • Use a chopping board
  • Watch the edges with heavy pans
  • Keep joints and edges dry

Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, particularly with laminate and timber.

A burn or chip can get worse with daily use, especially near the sink. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.

What we do, step by step

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
  2. The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
  3. It’s filled and levelled with the surface.
  4. The colour and pattern are built up by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed and polished to match.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Ask for a price

Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your DH1 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
