Work for landlords and builders
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Tan Hills as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
How we handle worktop repair in Tan Hills
We repair chips, burns and scratches in laminate, stone, quartz, solid surface and wooden worktops, matching the colour and pattern by hand. Nothing is taken out. We regularly repair solid surface (such as Corian), quartz and laminate, and the jobs we see most are damage around the sink cut-out and chips in quartz or granite.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

What worktop repair costs
Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material and finish
- How many items we do on one visit
- What kind of damage it is
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
Getting a price from photos
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A wider photo showing the entire worktop
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Even if you could get the same laminate, it may not match after years of light and use. We match the repair to your worktop as it is today. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Honest limits
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- Through cracks in stone that is moving
- Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
- Laminate that has blown or swollen
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Quartz
- Granite & marble
- Solid wood
- Laminate
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
Questions from Tan Hills
Do I need to empty the worktop?
Only the area we’re working on. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Is a burnt worktop repairable?
Often, yes. The burn is cut back, filled and patterned to match.
Do you cover the whole of County Durham?
Across the UK, and that includes Tan Hills. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Are there extra charges for Tan Hills?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.

Can I fix it myself?
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 frequently lifts.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Wood
Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, and burns and dents repaired.
Quartz
Quartz is tough, though edges can chip. Chips are filled with tinted resin and polished to the worktop’s finish.
