Worktop repair in Evenwood Gate, County Durham
We travel to Evenwood Gate for chip, burn and scratch repairs to kitchen and bathroom worktops. Nothing is taken out, and the work is guaranteed.
- Repairs from £95
- Snagging damage in a new kitchen
- A dent from a dropped pan
Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Do not cut directly on the worktop
- Keep a trivet by the hob
- Do not let water sit on joints
- Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
Leave the repaired area free of hot or heavy items until it has cured. After that, trivets and chopping boards are your best protection.
Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, as water can get in and cause swelling.
How we handle worktop repair in Evenwood Gate
Worktops are expensive to replace and hard to match, particularly where several lengths join. Repairing the damage keeps your kitchen as it is. Our repair technicians work on quartz, solid surface (such as Corian) and solid wood, and the jobs we see most are chips on edges and corners and a heat mark or burn.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Evenwood Gate and across County Durham.

Repair or replace: which is better?
A new worktop means removing the old one, templating and fitting a replacement and reconnecting the sink and hob, and matching the rest of the kitchen can be hard. A repair leaves the worktop in place. Our worktop repair starts from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Advice
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
When we’d advise against a repair
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Cracks right through stone that has moved
- A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
- Discolouration deep in quartz
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Laminate
- Solid wood
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Granite & marble
- Quartz
