Repair or replace: which is better?
Even if you could get the same laminate, it may not match after years of light and use. A repair is matched to what you have now. Our worktop repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Common questions in High Dyke
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
How do I get a price for worktop repair in High Dyke?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Do you cover the entire of County Durham?
We work UK-wide, so High Dyke is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Do you come to High Dyke?
We do. Repair technicians travel to High Dyke from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Keep a trivet by the hob
- Don’t leave spills to soak in
- Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
- Don’t cut directly on the worktop
Keep joints and the sink edge dry, especially on laminate and wood.
A chip on an edge can grow, and on laminate, water can get into the core. Repairing it early stops that.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
What your worktop is made of matters
Solid surface
Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so marks can frequently be sanded and refinished.
Granite and stone
Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.
How we price worktop repair
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- The colour and finish to match
- How many items we do on one visit
- Access to the area
- How many areas need work
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Getting a price from photos
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A picture taken from further back
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
Honest limits
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Severe heat marks in quartz
- Laminate that has blown or swollen
- Cracks right through stone that has moved
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

How it works
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
- Burnt or loose material is cut back.
- The area is filled and shaped.
- We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
- We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Getting a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
