Worktop repair in Sherburn House without replacing anything
Different worktops need different repairs: laminate is filled and patterned, quartz and stone are filled and polished, and wood is sanded and refinished. The goal is always a repair that blends in. Our repair technicians work on solid surface (such as Corian), quartz and granite & marble, and the jobs we see most are chipped corners and chips in quartz or granite.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

When we’d advise against a repair
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
- Failed support under the worktop
- Cracks right through stone that has moved
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

What affects the price in Sherburn House
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many areas need work
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The type of damage
Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Getting a price from photos
Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. Try to include:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Something in shot to show the size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
If you’re in Sherburn House and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Don’t cut directly on the worktop
- Do not leave spills to soak in
- Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
- Re-oil timber worktops
Leave the repaired area free of hot or heavy items until it has cured. After that, trivets and chopping boards protect it best.
Daily use can make burns and chips worse. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.
The process
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a few hours. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
- Burnt or loose material is cut back.
- The area is filled and shaped.
- The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
- We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. 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.
Sherburn House questions
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Is a burnt worktop repairable?

Do I need to empty the worktop?
Just clear the area around the damage. The rest is covered and protected.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across County Durham.
