Worktop repair in Hamsterley without replacing anything
You do not need a new worktop because of one mark. We fill and refinish the damage to blend into the surface around it. We regularly repair laminate, solid surface (such as Corian) and granite & marble, and common reasons people contact us are burns from hot pans and damage from fitting or building work.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

What happens on the day
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. It generally takes a morning or an afternoon, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
- We cut back any burnt or loose material.
- The area is filled and shaped.
- The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
- We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole worktop, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Hamsterley. The price comes down to:
- How much damage there is
- What kind of damage it is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Unusual colours or finishes
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from pictures
Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. It helps if you send:
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A photo taken from further back
- What it’s made of, if you know
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
Common questions in Hamsterley
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire worktop and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Do I need to clear the kitchen?
Just clear the area around the damage. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
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 then the old filler has to be removed first.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Solid surface
Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so marks can frequently be sanded and refinished.
Wood
Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, and burns and dents repaired.
