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 normally cheaper.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
How we handle worktop repair in Derrythorpe
Worktops are expensive to replace and hard to match, especially in an L-shaped or long kitchen. A repair leaves the kitchen untouched. Common call-outs are for scorch marks from pans and a chipped edge, in solid surface (such as Corian), solid wood and granite & marble.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Don’t knock pans against the edge
- Don’t let water sit on joints
- Do not leave spills to soak in
- Chopping boards prevent scratches
Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.
A chip on an edge can grow, and on laminate, water can get into the core. Repairing it early stops that.
What your worktop is made of matters
Wood
Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, with burns and dents put right.
Granite and stone
Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- The type of damage
- How many items we do on one visit
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Unusual colours or finishes
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book.
Send photos for a quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Something in shot to show the size
- One picture of the entire worktop
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Derrythorpe
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.
For anyone letting property in or around Derrythorpe, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
How the visit works
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- We start by checking the damage and the worktop material.
- We clean the area and prepare the edges of the damage.
- We fill with a filler suited to the material and rebuild any missing edge.
- We match the colour and pattern by hand.
- We seal or finish the surface to suit the worktop.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Clear the area around the damage
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Ask for a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Repairing versus replacing in Derrythorpe
Swollen or badly damaged laminate may need replacing. For chips, burns and scratches, repair is usually far better value. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

FAQs for Derrythorpe
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Do you come to Derrythorpe?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Derrythorpe. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
When we’d advise against a repair
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
- Water-swollen laminate
- A top that moves on its units
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on
- Solid wood
- Granite & marble
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
