Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
What affects the price in Dalton-on-Tees

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Questions from Dalton-on-Tees
Do you repair quartz?
Yes. We repair quartz chips regularly, matched and polished.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Are you accredited?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Is a burnt worktop repairable?
Generally, yes. The burn is cut back, filled and patterned to match.
How to care for the repair
To keep it looking its best:
- Keep wood oiled
- Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
- Use a chopping board
- Keep a trivet by the hob
Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, particularly with laminate and timber.
A burn or chip can get worse with daily use. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.
What happens on the day
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. Allow a few hours, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- We start by checking the damage and the worktop material.
- We clean the area and prepare the edges of the damage.
- We fill with a filler suited to the material and rebuild any missing edge.
- We match the colour and pattern by hand.
- Finally we seal or finish the area to match.
Preparing for the visit
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
