How we handle worktop repair in Ouston
You do not need a new worktop because of one mark. We fill and refinish the damage so it blends into the pattern. We regularly repair solid surface (such as Corian), granite & marble and laminate, and common reasons people contact us are damage around the sink cut-out and a heat mark or burn.

Questions from Ouston
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
How much do I need to move?
Just near the damage. You can typically still use the rest of the kitchen.
Can a quartz edge be fixed?
Yes, often. We match the colour and polish the repair.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across County Durham.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire worktop and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Work for landlords and builders
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
What we are called out for in Ouston
Edges and corners chip most frequently, frequently when something heavy catches the edge.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- A chipped edge
- Snagging damage in a new kitchen
- Dents and gouges
- Burns from hot pans
Comparing quotes
- How soon you can use it again
- Who will actually do the work
- How changes to the job are handled
- Whether the price covers travel
Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Other services in Ouston
Repair or replace: which is better?
Stone and quartz have to be templated and cut, so replacing a section takes time and money. A repair takes a few hours. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
