DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Townfield
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in County Durham and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
How the visit works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. You can expect it to take a few hours.
- We start by checking the damage and the worktop material.
- Next we clean up and prepare the damaged area.
- We fill with a filler suited to the material and rebuild any missing edge.
- We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
- Finally we seal or finish the area to match.
Before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Ask for a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Advice
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing even one length of worktop means templating, cutting, fitting and often a new sink and hob connection. A repair is a few hours with everything left in place. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Never put hot pans down directly
- Keep joints and edges dry
- Don’t knock pans against the edge
- Keep wood oiled
Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe up spills promptly, and keep wooden tops oiled.
A burn or chip can get worse with daily use. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Granite and stone
Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.
Quartz
Quartz is tough, though edges can chip. Chips are filled with tinted resin and polished.
Common questions in Townfield
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Do you come to Townfield?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Townfield and the rest of County Durham. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
When a repair is not the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Cracks right through stone that has moved
- Severe heat marks in quartz
- A top that moves on its units
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
