What else we do in Stockton-on-Tees
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What we do, step by step
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which usually takes a few hours, depending on the damage. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- First we look at the damage and what the worktop is made of.
- We clean the area and prepare the edges of the damage.
- We fill with a filler suited to the material and rebuild any missing edge.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- The surface is sealed or finished to suit the worktop.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
How to get a price
To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Advice
What we’re called out for in Stockton-on-Tees
Most chips are on edges and corners, usually from pans, tins or dishes knocked against them.
Customers normally contact us about:
- Scratches and knife marks
- A chipped edge
- A damaged sink edge
- A heat mark or burn
Before booking anyone
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
For landlords and businesses
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details.
How we price worktop repair
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What the surface is made of
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The colour and finish to match
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
Quotes from your photos
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One picture of the whole worktop
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.
Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
- Re-oil timber worktops
- Dry around the sink and joints
- Clean spills immediately
Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe up spills promptly, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.
A burn or chip can get worse with daily use. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.
What we can’t put right
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- A top that moves on its units
- Discolouration deep in quartz
- A cracked stone top that’s unsupported
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on
- Granite & marble
- Quartz
- Solid wood
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Laminate
Repair or replace in Stockton-on-Tees?
Even a single new length of worktop means templating, cutting and refitting the sink and hob. A repair takes a few hours and leaves everything in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

FAQs for Stockton-on-Tees
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.
Will the repair match a patterned worktop?
Yes. We recreate the pattern by hand so it blends in.
