How we handle worktop repair in High Grange

Laminate, quartz, granite, solid surface and wooden worktops can all be repaired, matching the colour and pattern by hand. The worktop stays in place. We regularly repair solid surface (such as Corian), solid wood and quartz, and people most frequently call us about a heat mark or burn and damage from fitting or building work.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Repairs by material

Quartz

Quartz is hard, but its edges are brittle. We fill chips with a tinted resin and polish them to the worktop’s finish.

Solid surface

Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so marks can often be sanded and refinished.

For landlords and businesses

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in High Grange as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

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.

Questions from High Grange

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?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Do you work in High Grange?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to High Grange. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

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’ll tell you.

The process

We begin by going over the job with you. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. You can expect it to take a few hours, depending on the damage, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. First we look at the damage and what the worktop is made of.
  2. Next we clean up and prepare the damaged area.
  3. We fill with a filler suited to the material and rebuild any missing edge.
  4. The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
  5. We seal or finish the surface to suit the worktop.

Before we arrive

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

How to compare quotes

When a repair is not the answer

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • A top that moves on its units
  • Water-swollen laminate
  • Severe heat marks in quartz

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

Should you replace it?

An identical replacement may look different next to aged worktops. We match the repair to your worktop as it is today. Our worktop repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, 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.

  • A fixed quote before you book
  • No need to remove anything

Aftercare tips

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Keep a trivet by the hob
  • Chopping boards prevent scratches
  • Do not knock pans against the edge
  • Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz

Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. 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.
