Worktop repair in Lanehead, County Durham
We travel to Lanehead for chip, burn and scratch repairs to kitchen and bathroom worktops. Everything is done in place, and the work is guaranteed.
- Repairs from £95
- A heat mark or burn
- Damage around the sink cut-out
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
- Don’t let water sit on joints
- Do not cut directly on the worktop
- Don’t knock pans against the edge
Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe spills straight away, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.
Daily use can make burns and chips worse particularly around the sink. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Quartz
Quartz is crushed stone bound with resin. Edge chips are very common, and we fill and polish them.
Wood
Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, and burns and dents repaired.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

What do you need from me?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Can tenants book a repair?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Related advice
Should you replace it?
Stone and quartz have to be templated and cut, so replacing one section is a big job. Repairing it is a few hours’ work. Our worktop repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
