Should you replace it?
Replacing even one length of worktop means templating, cutting, fitting and frequently a new sink and hob connection. A repair is a few hours with everything left in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Keep wood oiled
- Take care with heavy pans near edges
- Keep a trivet by the hob
- Steer clear of strong cleaners
Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe up spills promptly, and keep wooden tops oiled.
A burn or chip can get worse with daily use particularly around the sink. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Laminate
A laminate worktop is a thin decorative layer on a board. We fill damage and paint in the pattern by hand.
Granite and stone
Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.
Questions from Altofts
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can a scorch mark be fixed?
Generally, yes. The burn is cut back, filled and patterned to match.
How soon can you come?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the whole UK, including Altofts and the rest of Wakefield. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will confirm dates.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
Can you price it without visiting?
Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
How do I get a price for worktop repair in Altofts?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
How it works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a few hours, depending on the damage. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We start by checking the damage and the worktop material.
- We clean the area and prepare the edges of the damage.
- We fill the damage with a suitable filler and build up any lost edge.
- The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
- We seal or finish the surface to suit the worktop.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
