DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
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 pictures.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing even one length of worktop means templating, cutting, fitting and often a new sink and hob connection. A repair is a few hours with everything left in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to care for the repair
Aftercare is simple:
- Oil wooden tops regularly
- Chopping boards prevent scratches
- Dry around the sink and joints
- Take care with heavy pans near edges
Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe up spills promptly, and keep wooden tops oiled.
A chip on an edge can grow, and water can reach the core of laminate. An early repair prevents it.

How it works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. It usually takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First we look at the damage and what the worktop is made of.
- The area is cleaned and the edges of the damage prepared.
- We fill with a filler suited to the material and rebuild any missing edge.
- The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
- Finally we seal or finish the area to match.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Getting a price
Send us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, with your DH6 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Advice
Shotton Colliery questions
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
What do you need from me?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can you repair a burn in a worktop?
Normally, yes. We remove the damaged surface, fill it and recreate the pattern.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

What your worktop is made of matters
Wood
Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, with burns and dents put right.
Solid surface
Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so marks can frequently be sanded and refinished.
When a repair is not the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
- A cracked stone top that’s unsupported
- Laminate that has blown or swollen
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

- Quartz
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
