Questions from Deneside

Do I need to clear the kitchen?

Just near the damage. You can generally still use the rest of the kitchen.

What happens next?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

Can you repair a burn in a worktop?

In most cases. A photo lets us check what’s possible.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Which areas do you work in?

The whole UK, including all of County Durham. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll confirm dates.

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

How it works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
  2. Burnt or loose material is cut back.
  3. We fill and shape the damaged area.
  4. The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
  5. It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

How to get a price

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 give you a fixed price.

Repairing versus replacing in Deneside

If the worktop is swollen by water or badly damaged along its length, replacement may be the answer. For chips, burns and scratches, repair is normally far better value. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Why Deneside customers choose us

  • Colour-matched on site
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • We leave the room as we found it

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

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 then the old filler has to be removed first.

How we price worktop repair

Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Unusual colours or finishes

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Getting a price from photos

Phone pictures are fine. Just make sure we can see:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any details about the material

Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Deneside, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Repairs by material

Granite and stone

Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.

Solid surface

Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so scratches and burns can often be sanded out and refinished.

Honest limits

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t fix:

  • A top that moves on its units
  • Cracks right through stone that has moved
  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Materials we repair

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

How to care for the repair

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Don’t knock pans against the edge
  • Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
  • Oil wooden tops regularly
  • Do not let water sit on joints

Leave the repaired area free of hot or heavy items until it has cured. After that, trivets and chopping boards are your best protection.

Don’t leave damage by the sink, as water can get in and cause swelling.

When to call us in Deneside

The worst damage frequently happens in a moment: a hot pan put down without a trivet, or a heavy pan knocked against the edge. Scratches build up more slowly, from knives and grit.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Chips on edges and corners
  • Chips in quartz or granite
  • Dents and gouges
  • Snagging damage in a new kitchen
