Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Clean spills straight away
- Never put hot pans down directly
- Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
- Oil wooden tops regularly
Leave the repaired area free of hot or heavy items until it has cured. After that, trivets and chopping boards are your best protection.
A burn or chip can get worse with daily use, especially near the sink. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.
Worktop repair in Tantobie, done in place
Different worktops need different repairs: we fill and pattern laminate, fill and polish quartz and stone, and sand and refinish wood. The goal is always a repair that blends in. Whether it’s chips on edges and corners and a dent from a dropped pan, we can typically put it right.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What affects the price in Tantobie
Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material and finish
- The colour and finish to match
- How many areas need work
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A picture taken from further back
- Something in shot to show the size
Send us pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, with your DH9 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
How it works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
- Burnt or loose material is cut back.
- The area is filled and shaped.
- The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
- We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.
Before we arrive
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Clear the area around the damage
How to get a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole worktop, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Questions from Tantobie
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
How do I get a price for worktop repair in Tantobie?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your DH9 postcode.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Do I need to empty the worktop?
Only around the repair. The rest of the kitchen stays usable.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You’ll get a fixed quote back. You are under no obligation.
What areas do you cover?
The entire UK, including all of County Durham. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

For landlords and businesses
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
