DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Quartz
Quartz worktops are mostly stone set in resin. Edge chips are very common, and we fill and polish them.
Granite and stone
Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Penshaw
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Re-oil timber worktops
- Always use a trivet for hot pans
- Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
- Don’t leave spills to soak in
Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.
A chip on an edge can grow, and water can reach the core of laminate. Repairing it early stops that.

Common questions in Penshaw
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire worktop and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Do I need to empty the worktop?
Just clear the area around the damage. The rest is covered and protected.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
