Whether it’s gouges in the surface and damage around the sink cut-out, we can generally put it right, on quartz, solid surface (such as Corian) and laminate alike.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

A DIY attempt isn’t 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.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Sunnybrow

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.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details.

What affects the price in Sunnybrow

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Doing more than one item at once

A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Something in shot to show the size

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole worktop, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Repairs by material

Wood

Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, and burns and dents repaired.

Solid surface

Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so scratches and burns can often be sanded out and refinished.

How it works

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. Allow a morning or an afternoon.

  1. First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
  2. We cut back any burnt or loose material.
  3. The area is filled and shaped.
  4. We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
  5. We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Advice

Honest limits

A repair is not right for every job, for example:

  • Cracks right through stone that has moved
  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we repair

  • Granite & marble
  • Solid wood
  • Quartz
  • Laminate
  • Solid surface (such as Corian)

Looking after it afterwards

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Wipe up spills quickly
  • Don’t cut directly on the worktop
  • Re-oil timber worktops
  • Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz

Keep joints and the sink edge dry, particularly with laminate and timber.

Don’t leave damage by the sink, because water gets in and swells the board.

Repair or replace: which is better?

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. Our worktop repair starts from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Sunnybrow: your questions answered

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

When can you do it?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

What happens next?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Do you repair quartz?

Yes. We repair quartz chips regularly, matched and polished.

Do I need to clear the kitchen?

Only around the repair. You can normally still use the rest of the kitchen.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across County Durham.

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
