What a repair can’t fix
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Laminate swollen by water from underneath
- Discolouration deep in quartz
- Through cracks in stone that is moving

The process
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes a few hours, depending on the damage. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We start by checking the damage and the worktop material.
- We clean the area and prepare the edges of the damage.
- We fill the damage with a suitable filler and build up any lost edge.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- Finally we seal or finish the area to match.
Preparing for the visit
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Advice
Newbiggin questions
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
Can you match the pattern on my worktop?
We match colour, flecks and veining by hand, for a repair that blends in.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Do you cover the entire of County Durham?
Across the UK, and that includes Newbiggin. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Different materials, different repairs
Quartz
Quartz is hard, but its edges are brittle. Chips are filled with tinted resin and polished to the worktop’s finish.
Wood
Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, and burns and dents repaired.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Take care with heavy pans near edges
- Never put hot pans down directly
- Clean spills right away
- Use a chopping board
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. Repairing it early stops that.
Landlord and trade work in Newbiggin
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Newbiggin use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
Should you replace it?
Even if you could get the same laminate, it may not match after years of light and use. A repair is matched to what you have now. Prices start 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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
