What else we do in High Throston
Repairing versus replacing in High Throston
A new worktop means removing the old one, cutting and fitting a new one and refitting the sink and hob, and matching the rest of the kitchen can be hard. Repairing the damage leaves the worktop in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What affects the price in High Throston
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including High Throston. What changes the price is:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material and finish
- The colour and finish to match
- How much damage there is
We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Quotes from your photos
Two or three clear photos are typically enough. Try to include:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Details of any past repairs
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Keep wood oiled
- Chopping boards prevent scratches
- Clean spills right away
- Take care with heavy pans near edges
Let the repair cure for the time we give you before putting anything heavy or hot on it. After that, trivets and chopping boards protect it best.
Daily use can make burns and chips worse. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.
What we do, step by step
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours, depending on the damage. 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.
- We cut back any burnt or loose material.
- The area is filled and shaped.
- We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
- It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Advice
What your worktop is made of matters
Solid surface
Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so scratches and burns can frequently be sanded out and refinished.
Quartz
Quartz worktops are mostly stone set in resin. We fill and polish chipped edges.
High Throston: your questions answered
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Are there extra charges for High Throston?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can you match the pattern on my worktop?
We match colour, flecks and veining by hand, for a repair that blends in.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You will get a fixed quote back, typically with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.
Which areas do you work in?
All of Hartlepool, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.
Can a quartz edge be fixed?
Yes. We repair quartz chips regularly, filled and polished to match.

Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
What we’re called out for in High Throston
The worst damage often happens in a moment: a hot pan put down without a trivet, or a heavy pan knocked against the edge. Scratches build up gradually from knives and grit.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- A dent from a dropped pan
- Chips caused during installation
- A damaged sink edge
- Chips in quartz or granite

DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully 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.
