Work for landlords and builders
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Cumbria and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
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.
What we cannot put right
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Water-swollen laminate
- Cracks right through stone that has moved
- A worktop that has moved because its support has failed

Materials we repair
- Quartz
- Granite & marble
- Solid wood
- Laminate
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
Repairing versus replacing in Distington
Replacing even one length of worktop means templating, cutting, fitting and often a new sink and hob connection. A repair takes a few hours and leaves everything in place. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- How many areas need work
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Distington. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. Try to include:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One picture of the whole worktop
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Laminate
Laminate is a printed surface bonded to a board. Damage is filled and the pattern painted in by hand.
Quartz
Quartz is hard, but its edges are brittle. Chips are filled with tinted resin and polished to the worktop’s finish.

Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Keep joints and edges dry
- Don’t cut directly on the worktop
- Always use a trivet for hot pans
- Steer clear of strong cleaners
Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe up spills promptly, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.
A chip on an edge can grow, and water can reach the core of laminate. An early repair prevents it.
The process
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.
- The area around the damage is protected.
- We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
- It’s filled and levelled with the surface.
- The colour and pattern are built up by hand.
- We seal and polish it to the right sheen.
Before we arrive
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Ask for a price
We price from photos so you don’t 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, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Do I need to empty the worktop?
Just clear the area around the damage. We protect the rest of the kitchen.

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Can you price it without visiting?
Normally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first.
Is my repair covered?

Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
