What we do, step by step
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon.
- First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
- Burnt or loose material is cut back.
- The area is filled and shaped.
- We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
- We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Getting a price
Email us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, with your DL13 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Questions from Eastgate
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across County Durham.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
How much do I need to move?
Just near the damage. You can typically still use the rest of the kitchen.
Do you cover Eastgate?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Eastgate. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What worktop repair costs
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- Access to the area
- How many items we do on one visit
- The type of damage
- The size and number of damaged areas
A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- One picture of the whole worktop
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The material, if you know it
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep wood oiled
- Watch the edges with heavy pans
- Keep a trivet by the hob
- Steer clear of strong cleaners
Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe spills immediately, and keep wooden tops oiled.
Do not leave damage by the sink, because water gets in and swells the board.
What a repair can’t fix
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Through cracks in stone that is moving
- A top that moves on its units
- Discolouration deep in quartz
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair
- Quartz
- Laminate
- Solid wood
- Granite & marble
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
