Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Steer clear of strong cleaners
- Dry around the sink and joints
- Take care with heavy pans near edges
- Oil wooden tops regularly
Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.
Don’t leave damage by the sink, because water gets in and swells the board.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What kind of damage it is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether we combine several jobs
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Bishop Middleham. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Quotes from your photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One picture of the entire worktop
- Something in shot to show the size
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the worktop, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Is my repair covered?

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a worktop means removing the old one, cutting and fitting a new one and refitting the sink and hob, and it may not match the rest of the kitchen. A repair keeps your existing worktop. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

- Burnt or loose material is cut back.

- The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
- We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.

Different materials, different repairs
Solid surface
Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so marks can often be sanded and refinished.
Granite and stone
Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.
DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 is not prepared the repair will not last.
