What your worktop is made of matters

Solid surface

Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so scratches and burns can frequently be sanded out and refinished.

Laminate

A laminate worktop is a thin decorative layer on a board. Damage is filled and the pattern painted in by hand.

What worktop repair costs

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material and finish

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Send photos for a quote

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A photo taken from further back
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

If you’re in Hurworth-on-Tees and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

What we do, step by step

Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for a few hours. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. The area around the damage is protected.
  2. We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
  3. It’s filled and levelled with the surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal and polish it to the right sheen.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

Aftercare tips

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Keep a trivet by the hob
  • Wipe up spills quickly
  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
  • Keep wood oiled

Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.

A chip on an edge can grow, and on laminate, water can get into the core. An early repair prevents it.
