Worktop repair in Stranton, done in place
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 work on solid surface (such as Corian), laminate and quartz, and the jobs we see most are a dent from a dropped pan and cuts and scratches in the surface.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Stranton and across Hartlepool.

Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Different materials, different repairs
Solid surface
Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so scratches and burns can often be sanded out and refinished.
Quartz
Quartz is hard, but its edges are brittle. Chips are filled with tinted resin and polished.
For landlords and businesses
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Stranton use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
The process
Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- 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.
- The repair is sealed and polished to match.
How to prepare
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Make sure the area is dry

Materials we work on in Stranton
- Solid wood
- Quartz
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Laminate

How to care for the repair
Aftercare is simple:
- Clean spills immediately
- Take care with heavy pans near edges
- Do not cut directly on the worktop
- Dry around the sink and joints
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.
Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, as water can get in and cause swelling.
Why repair rather than replace?
Swollen or badly damaged laminate may need replacing. For chips, burns and scratches, repair is normally far better value. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
