FAQs for High Forge
What areas do you cover?
All of County Durham, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
How much do I need to move?
Just near the damage. The rest of the kitchen stays usable.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Will the repair match a patterned worktop?
Colour, flecks and veins are recreated by hand, so the repair blends into the surface.
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Different materials, different repairs
Wood
Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, with burns and dents put right.
Granite and stone
Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.
How we price worktop repair
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Any details about the material
- Where you are, by postcode
- One picture of the whole worktop
- One sharp close-up of the damage
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
Landlords, agents and businesses in High Forge
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in High Forge as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.
What we cannot put right
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- A cracked stone top that’s unsupported
- Laminate that has blown or swollen
- Failed support under the worktop
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Solid wood
- Laminate
- Granite & marble
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Quartz
What we are called out for in High Forge
Around the sink, water gets into joints on laminate and wood, and that can make them swell.
Look out for these signs:
- Chips near the sink
- A heat mark or burn
- Damage from fitting or building work
- Chips in quartz or granite
What your quote should include
- How long it needs to cure
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Whether they match the colour on site
- What aftercare is recommended
What we do, step by step
The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- We start by checking the damage and the worktop material.
- The area is cleaned and the edges of the damage prepared.
- We fill with a filler suited to the material and rebuild any missing edge.
- The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
- Finally we seal or finish the area to match.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Ensure the area is dry

Upload photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your DH9 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Advice
Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
- Clean spills right away
- Never put hot pans down directly
- Chopping boards prevent scratches
Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, especially on laminate and wood.
Don’t leave damage by the sink, as water can get in and cause swelling.
