DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

What else we do in North Hylton
What we can’t put right
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Laminate that has blown or swollen
- Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
- Failed support under the worktop
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
Materials we work on in North Hylton
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Granite & marble
- Laminate
- Quartz
- Solid wood
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Do not let water sit on joints
- Do not cut directly on the worktop
- Keep a trivet by the hob
- Clean spills immediately
Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe up spills promptly, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.
A burn or chip can get worse with daily use, especially near the sink. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Swollen or badly damaged laminate may need replacing. For chips, burns and scratches, a repair is the better value. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.

Landlords, agents and businesses in North Hylton
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
