Worktop repair in Dunston, done in place

Matching a pattern is the skilled part of a worktop repair. Colour, flecks and veining are recreated by hand. We work on quartz, laminate and granite & marble, and common reasons people contact us are scratches and knife marks and damage around the sink cut-out.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it.

Common problems we fix in Dunston

Around the sink, water gets into joints on laminate and wood, and that can make them swell.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • Damage to a stone worktop
  • Cuts and scratches in the surface
  • Damage from fitting or building work
  • Chips on edges and corners

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • If travel is included in the price
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How soon you can use it again

10 questions to ask before booking

Looking after it afterwards

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Always use a trivet for hot pans
  • Dry around the sink and joints
  • Don’t leave spills to soak in
  • Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz

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

A burn or chip can get worse with daily use, especially near the sink. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.

Dunston: your questions answered

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Can you match the pattern on my worktop?

Yes, the pattern is built up by hand.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

How do I get a price for worktop repair in Dunston?

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Can you repair a burn in a worktop?

In most cases. A picture lets us check.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

What happens next?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

How the visit works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. You can expect it to take a morning or an afternoon, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. First we look at the damage and what the worktop is made of.
  2. Next we clean up and prepare the damaged area.
  3. We fill the damage with a suitable filler and build up any lost edge.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The surface is sealed or finished to suit the worktop.

Preparing for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

How we price worktop repair

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How much damage there is
  • The type of damage

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Quotes from your photos

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • The material, if you know it

If you are in Dunston and want a price, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Landlord and trade work in Dunston

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

If you manage property in Dunston, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Repair or replace in Dunston?

Even a single new length of worktop means templating, cutting and refitting the sink and hob. A repair is a few hours with everything left in place. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Dunston. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
