How the visit works

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We assess the damage and the worktop material.
  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 recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal or finish the surface to suit the worktop.

Before we arrive

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Repairs by material

Quartz

Quartz is tough, though edges can chip. We fill chips with a tinted resin and polish them.

Solid surface

Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so marks can frequently be sanded and refinished.

What a repair cannot fix

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Discolouration deep in quartz
  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
  • Laminate that has blown or swollen

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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

Do you need worktop repair in Hamsterley?

Worktops take more punishment than anything else in the kitchen. Hot pans leave burns, knives leave scratches, and edges chip when heavy pans or tins hit them.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Gouges in the surface
  • A damaged sink edge
  • Chipped corners
  • A chipped quartz edge

10 questions to ask before booking

Looking after it afterwards

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Keep joints and edges dry
  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
  • Do not cut directly on the worktop
  • Wipe up spills quickly

Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, particularly with laminate and timber.

Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, as water can get in and cause swelling.

Repairing versus replacing in Hamsterley

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. Our worktop repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why book with us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Colour-matched on site
  • A fixed quote before you book

Landlords, agents and businesses in Hamsterley

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

In most cases. Send us a photo and we’ll tell you what’s possible.

Do you do work for letting agents?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
