About our worktop repair in Kelloe

Different worktops need different repairs: we fill and pattern laminate, fill and polish quartz and stone, and sand and refinish wood. The goal is always a repair that blends in. We work on granite & marble, quartz and laminate, and common reasons people contact us are dents and gouges and scorch marks from pans.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

FAQs for Kelloe

What areas do you cover?

All of County Durham, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Is there any odour?

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

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

How do I book?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Generally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Aftercare tips

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Re-oil timber worktops
  • Never put hot pans down directly
  • Wipe up spills quickly
  • Keep joints and edges dry

Leave the repaired area free of hot or heavy items until it has cured. After that, trivets and chopping boards are your best protection.

Daily use can make burns and chips worse particularly around the sink. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.

What a repair cannot fix

It helps to know what we cannot do:

  • Water-swollen laminate
  • Through cracks in stone that is moving
  • A top that moves on its units

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

  • Laminate
  • Solid surface (such as Corian)
  • Solid wood

What affects the price in Kelloe

Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Kelloe. The price comes down to:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material and finish
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Unusual colours or finishes

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed price

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Any details about the material
  • Natural light rather than flash

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole worktop, we can price the job.

What happens on the day

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. The area around the damage is protected.
  2. The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
  3. It’s filled and levelled with the surface.
  4. The colour and pattern are built up by hand.
  5. We seal and polish it to the right sheen.

How to prepare

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Open a window if you can
