Questions from Shildon
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Can you repair a burn in a worktop?
Generally, yes. The burn is cut back, filled and patterned to match.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Can you repair a chipped quartz worktop?
Yes. Chips on edges and around the sink are very common repairs, matched and polished.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Do you cover Shildon?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Shildon for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

What worktop repair costs
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Shildon. What changes the price is:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material and finish
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send pictures for a quote
You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- A picture taken from further back
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Where you are, by postcode
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
How to look after the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Don’t leave spills to soak in
- Use a chopping board
- Don’t knock pans against the edge
- Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
Leave the repaired area free of hot or heavy items until it has cured. After that, trivets and chopping boards protect it best.
A chip on an edge can grow, and on laminate, water can get into the core. An early repair prevents it.
Work for landlords and builders
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
If you manage property in Shildon, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.
How it works
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, tidy-up included.
- First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
- We cut back any burnt or loose material.
- The area is filled and shaped.
- We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
- It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
How to get a price
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Should you replace it?
Even if you could get the same laminate, it may not match after years of light and use. We match the repair to your worktop as it is today. Our worktop repair starts from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

When a repair is not the answer

- Laminate that has blown or swollen
- Cracks right through stone that has moved
- A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Granite & marble
- Quartz
- Solid wood
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Laminate
Different materials, different repairs
Laminate
Laminate worktops have a printed decorative layer over a board core. We fill the damage and recreate the pattern by hand.
Solid surface
Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so marks can frequently be sanded and refinished.
