Choosing a repair company

Should you replace it?

Stone and quartz tops are templated and cut to fit, so replacing a section takes time and money. Repairing it is a few hours’ work. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Willington. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why book with us

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

Take a look at our full price list.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Common questions in Willington

Do you cover Willington?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Willington and the rest of County Durham. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Do you repair quartz?

Yes, often. We match the colour and polish the repair.

What information do you need?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.

Do I need to clear the kitchen?

Just near the damage. You can typically still use the rest of the kitchen.

What does worktop repair cost?

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Is a burnt worktop repairable?

Generally. Send us a picture and we’ll tell you.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

The process

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
  2. We cut back any burnt or loose material.
  3. We fill and shape the damaged area.
  4. We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
  5. It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let us know about parking or access

Ask for a price

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Related advice

What we can’t put right

We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath
  • Severe heat marks in quartz
  • Through cracks in stone that is moving

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we work on in Willington

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

What your worktop is made of matters

Laminate

Laminate is a printed surface bonded to a board. We fill damage and paint in the pattern by hand.

Wood

Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, and burns and dents repaired.

Keeping it looking good

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Oil wooden tops regularly
  • Always use a trivet for hot pans
  • Wipe up spills quickly
  • Don’t cut directly on the worktop

Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, particularly with laminate and timber.

A chip on an edge can grow, and water can reach the core of laminate. An early repair prevents it.
