Materials and what they mean for the repair

Granite and stone

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

Wood

Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, and burns and dents repaired.

How we handle worktop repair in Etherley Grange

You don’t need a new worktop because of one mark. The damage is filled and refinished to blend into the surface around it. We regularly repair laminate, solid surface (such as Corian) and solid wood, and people most often call us about chips on edges and corners and cuts and scratches in the surface.

All our work comes with our one-year guarantee.

How it works

Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We assess the damage and the worktop material.
  2. We clean the area and prepare the edges of the damage.
  3. We fill with a filler suited to the material and rebuild any missing edge.
  4. The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
  5. The surface is sealed or finished to suit the worktop.

Preparing for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Advice

Etherley Grange questions

Do you repair quartz?

Yes. Chips on edges and around the sink are very common repairs, filled and polished to match.

Is a burnt worktop repairable?

Normally. Send us a photo and we’ll tell you what’s possible.

What do you need from me?

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

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

What happens after I send pictures?

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

Can tenants book a repair?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

How do I get a price for worktop repair in Etherley Grange?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your DL14 postcode.

Will the repair match a patterned worktop?

Colour, flecks and veins are recreated by hand, for a repair that blends in.

Do you need worktop repair in Etherley Grange?

Kitchen worktops have a hard life. Hot pans leave burns, knives leave scratches, and heavy pans chip the edges.

Common reasons people in Etherley Grange contact us are:

  • A damaged sink edge
  • Knife marks
  • Chips on edges and corners
  • Gouges in the surface

What your quote should include

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • When it can be used again
  • What aftercare is recommended

Choosing a repair company

Honest limits

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Water-swollen laminate
  • Cracks right through stone that has moved
  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

Materials we repair

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

How we price worktop repair

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

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How to get a fixed quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Any details about the material
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot 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:

  • Don’t leave spills to soak in
  • Chopping boards prevent scratches
  • Keep wood oiled
  • Steer clear of strong cleaners

Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, especially on laminate and wood.

Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, because water gets in and swells the board.

Landlord and trade work in Etherley Grange

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
