Worktop repair at your home in South Hetton
Worktops are expensive to replace and hard to match, especially in an L-shaped or long kitchen. Repairing the damage keeps your kitchen as it is. We are often asked to fix gouges in the surface and knife marks, in quartz, granite & marble and solid wood.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

What we do, step by step
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes a few hours, depending on the damage. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- The area around the damage is protected.
- The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
- We fill it and level it with the worktop.
- The colour and pattern are built up by hand.
- We seal and polish it to the right sheen.
Getting ready for the visit
- Ensure the area is dry
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Getting a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff:
- Chopping boards prevent scratches
- Don’t knock pans against the edge
- Steer clear of strong cleaners
- Always use a trivet for hot pans
Let the repair cure for the time we give you before putting anything heavy or hot on it. After that, trivets and chopping boards are your best protection.
A chip on an edge can grow, and on laminate, water can get into the core. Repairing it early stops that.

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
Can you match the pattern on my worktop?
Yes, the pattern is built up by hand.

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

Why repair rather than replace?
If the worktop is swollen by water or badly damaged along its length, replacement may be the answer. For chips, burns and scratches, a repair is the better value. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Landlord and trade work in South Hetton
Letting agents often 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 carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. 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
- How many items we do on one visit
A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- Something in shot to show the size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
If you are in South Hetton and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
When a repair isn’t the answer
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
- Cracks right through stone that has moved
- Laminate that has blown or swollen
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Granite & marble
- Solid wood
- Quartz
- Laminate
Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
