Before and after: damaged granite tiles repaired in place

What your worktop is made of matters

Quartz

Quartz is tough, though edges can chip. Chips are filled with tinted resin and polished to the worktop’s finish.

Wood

Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, with burns and dents put right.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

Common questions in Denton

Is a burnt worktop repairable?

Frequently, yes. The burn is cut back, filled and patterned to match.

Do you come to Denton?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Denton and the rest of Darlington. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What happens if you find more damage?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

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

Can you match granite flecks?

Yes, the pattern is built up by hand.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Can you repair a chipped quartz worktop?

Yes. The repair is colour-matched and polished to the quartz’s finish.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

What a repair cannot fix

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

  • A top that moves on its units
  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath
  • A cracked stone top that is unsupported

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Denton

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Should you replace it?

Replacing even one length of worktop means templating, cutting, fitting and frequently a new sink and hob connection. A repair is a few hours with everything left in place. Our worktop repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why us?

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

How the visit works

Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Allow a morning or an afternoon. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and how to care for it.

  1. We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
  2. Burnt or loose material is cut back.
  3. The area is filled and shaped.
  4. The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
  5. We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.

How to prepare

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Getting a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

What affects the price in Denton

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

  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Getting a price from pictures

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • What it’s made of, if you know

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Looking after it afterwards

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Clean spills straight away
  • Chopping boards prevent scratches
  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
  • Don’t knock pans against the edge

Keep joints and the sink edge dry, especially on laminate and wood.

A chip on an edge can grow, and water can reach the core of laminate. An early repair prevents it.
