Can I fix it myself?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Stainton Grove: your questions answered

Can a scorch mark be fixed?

Generally. A photo lets us check what’s possible.

Can you match granite flecks?

We match colour, flecks and veining by hand, for a repair that blends in.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

What happens after I send pictures?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.

Should you replace it?

An identical replacement may look different next to aged worktops. We match the repair to your worktop as it is today. Our worktop repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.

What we do, step by step

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
  2. We cut back any burnt or loose material.
  3. We fill and shape the damaged area.
  4. We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
  5. It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Ask for a price

10 questions to ask before booking

How we price worktop repair

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What the surface is made of
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed quote

You can take the pictures on your phone. Ensure they show:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Send us pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, with your DL12 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Landlord and trade work in Stainton Grove

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Stainton Grove as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

Different materials, different repairs

Quartz

Quartz is hard, but its edges are brittle. We fill chips with a tinted resin and polish them to the worktop’s finish.

Wood

Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, and burns and dents repaired.

Looking after it afterwards

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Watch the edges with heavy pans
  • Clean spills straight away
  • Keep a trivet by the hob
  • Steer clear of strong cleaners

Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.

Edge chips can get bigger, and water can reach the core of laminate. An early repair prevents it.
