Worktop repair in Ferryhill without replacing anything

You don’t need a new worktop because of one mark. We fill and refinish the damage to blend into the surface around it. Whether it’s chips in quartz or granite and burns from hot pans, we can typically put it right, on laminate, quartz and solid wood alike.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

What your worktop is made of matters

Laminate

A laminate worktop is a thin decorative layer on a board. We fill damage and paint in the pattern by hand.

Granite and stone

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

Ferryhill questions

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across County Durham.

Do I need to empty the worktop?

Only around the repair. You can typically still use the rest of the kitchen.

Do you repair quartz?

Yes. We match the colour and polish the repair.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Will the repair match a patterned worktop?

We match colour, flecks and veining by hand, for a repair that blends in.

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

The process

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon for most jobs. The room is left tidy.

  1. We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
  2. We cut back any burnt or loose material.
  3. The area is filled and shaped.
  4. We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
  5. It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

Advice

Work for landlords and builders

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Ferryhill as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

What we can’t put right

A repair is not right for every job, including:

  • Water-swollen laminate
  • Through cracks in stone that is moving
  • A top that moves on its units

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we work on in Ferryhill

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

Looking after it afterwards

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Re-oil timber worktops
  • Clean spills immediately
  • Take care with heavy pans near edges
  • Chopping boards prevent scratches

Let the repair cure for the time we give you before putting anything heavy or hot on it. After that, trivets and chopping boards are your best protection.

Edge chips can get bigger, and on laminate, water can get into the core. An early repair prevents it.

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

What worktop repair costs

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How much damage there is
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What the surface is made of

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Getting a price from photos

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Common problems we fix in Ferryhill

The worst damage frequently happens in a moment: a hot pan put down without a trivet, or a heavy pan knocked against the edge. Scratches build up gradually from knives and grit.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Scorch marks from pans
  • Chips on edges and corners
  • A damaged sink edge
  • Scratches and knife marks

Before you book anyone

  • What preparation is included
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • If travel is included in the price
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
