What happens on the day

Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. The area around the damage is protected.
  2. We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
  3. We fill it and level it with the worktop.
  4. The colour and pattern are built up by hand.
  5. We seal and polish it to the right sheen.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

When a repair is not the answer

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t fix:

  • Laminate that has blown or swollen
  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear

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

What we work on

  • Solid wood
  • Solid surface (such as Corian)

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material and finish
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Send pictures for a quote

Two or three clear photos are usually enough. It helps if you send:

  • One picture of the entire worktop
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Your questions about worktop repair in Murton

What areas do you cover?

The whole UK, including all of County Durham. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

What information do you need?

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

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.

Do I need to clear the kitchen?

Just clear the area around the damage. The rest is covered and protected.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

How do I get a price for worktop repair in Murton?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

Repair or replace in Murton?

Replacing a 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. Prices start from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
