Repairs by material
Granite and stone
Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.
Solid surface
Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so marks can frequently be sanded and refinished.
Worktop repair in Howden-le-Wear without replacing anything
Burns from hot pans, chips on edges and scratches from knives make up most of our worktop work. All are repaired in place. We regularly repair solid surface (such as Corian), quartz and laminate, and the jobs we see most are scratches and knife marks and snagging damage in a new kitchen.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back.

Common questions in Howden-le-Wear
Is a burnt worktop repairable?
In most cases. A photo lets us check.
Do you charge for travel?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Which areas do you work in?
All of County Durham, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
How quickly can you book me in?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Landlord and trade work in Howden-le-Wear
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Never put hot pans down directly
- Watch the edges with heavy pans
- Steer clear of strong cleaners
- Do not cut directly on the worktop
Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.
Don’t leave damage by the sink, because water gets in and swells the board.
Why repair rather than replace?
Stone and quartz tops are templated and cut to fit, so replacing one section is a big job. A repair takes a few hours. Our worktop repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
What you get with us
- Usually one visit, start to finish
- We leave the room as we found it
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- No need to remove anything

When a repair isn’t the answer

- Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
