What affects the price in Hett
Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Hett. The price comes down to:
- How hard the colour is to match
- What the surface is made of
- What kind of damage it is
- How easy the damage is to reach
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Getting a price from pictures
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A wider photo showing the whole worktop
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Most clients in Hett get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Worktop repair in Hett without replacing anything
Each type of worktop needs a different approach: we fill and pattern laminate, fill and polish quartz and stone, and sand and refinish wood. We always aim for a repair that blends in. Whether it’s scorch marks from pans and chipped corners, we can help, on granite & marble, quartz and laminate alike.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Clean spills straight away
- Do not let water sit on joints
- Don’t cut directly on the worktop
- Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.
Edge chips can get bigger, and water can reach the core of laminate. An early repair prevents it.
Hett questions
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
What does worktop repair cost?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Is a burnt worktop repairable?
Frequently, yes. We remove the damaged surface, fill it and recreate the pattern.
Do you come to Hett?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Hett and the rest of County Durham. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

- We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.

What a repair can’t fix
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Through cracks in stone that is moving
- A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
- Laminate swollen by water from underneath
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on
- Solid wood
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Laminate
- Quartz
- Granite & marble
What your worktop is made of matters
Quartz
Quartz is crushed stone bound with resin. We fill and polish chipped edges.
Solid surface
Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so marks can often be sanded and refinished.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
