Keeping it looking good

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Chopping boards prevent scratches
  • Wipe up spills quickly
  • Keep wood oiled
  • Don’t let water sit on joints

Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.

A chip on an edge can grow, and water can reach the core of laminate. Repairing it early stops that.

Worktop repair at your home in Peterlee

A worktop repair is carried out in your kitchen, with the area around the damage covered. Most repairs take a few hours, and the worktop can be used again soon after. Our repair technicians work on laminate, granite & marble and solid surface (such as Corian), and people most frequently call us about damage around the sink cut-out and a heat mark or burn.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What your worktop is made of matters

Laminate

Laminate worktops have a printed decorative layer over a board core. We fill the damage and recreate the pattern by hand.

Granite and stone

Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.

Your questions about worktop repair in Peterlee

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Do you work in Peterlee?

We do. We send a technician to Peterlee for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can you match the pattern on my worktop?

Yes. We recreate the pattern by hand.

Which areas do you work in?

All of County Durham, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

What we are called out for in Peterlee

Kitchen worktops have a hard life. Hot pans leave burns, knives leave scratches, and edges chip when heavy pans or tins hit them.

Contact us if you’ve noticed:

  • Cuts and scratches in the surface
  • A damaged sink edge
  • Chips caused during installation
  • Chipped corners

What to look for in a quote

  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • Who will actually do the work
  • If travel is included in the price
  • How long it needs to cure

Choosing a repair company

DIY kit or professional repair?

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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

How it works

When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours, depending on the damage. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We assess the damage and the worktop material.
  2. Next we clean up and prepare the damaged area.
  3. We fill the damage with a suitable filler and build up any lost edge.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal or finish the surface to suit the worktop.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let us know about parking or access

Getting a price

Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Peterlee, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Related advice

What we cannot put right

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Failed support under the worktop
  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath
  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

  • Quartz
  • Laminate
  • Solid wood
  • Granite & marble
  • Solid surface (such as Corian)

Work for landlords and builders

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.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a worktop means removing the old one, templating and fitting a replacement and refitting the sink and hob, and it may not match the rest of the kitchen. Repairing the damage keeps your existing worktop. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
