About our worktop repair in Exley

A new worktop rarely matches the old one, especially in an L-shaped or long kitchen. A repair leaves the kitchen untouched. Our technicians work on granite & marble, laminate and quartz, and common reasons people contact us are knife marks and chips caused during installation.

All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee.

How to care for the repair

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Keep wood oiled
  • Do not let water sit on joints
  • Never put hot pans down directly
  • Do not knock pans against the edge

Leave the repaired area free of hot or heavy items until it has cured. After that, trivets and chopping boards protect it best.

Edge chips can get bigger, and water can reach the core of laminate. An early repair prevents it.

What worktop repair costs

Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Access to the area
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed price

Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. It helps if you send:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The material, if you know it
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

What a repair cannot fix

It helps to know what we can’t do:

  • A top that moves on its units
  • A cracked stone top that is unsupported
  • Water-swollen laminate

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Materials we work on in Exley

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

Should you replace it?

If the worktop is swollen by water or badly damaged along its length, replacement may be the answer. For chips, burns and scratches, repair is normally far better value. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

The things clients normally mention when they call are:

  • Chips caused during installation
  • Chipped corners
  • A dent from a dropped pan
  • Scorch marks from pans

Questions to ask before booking

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • What preparation is included
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

Our hiring checklist

Your questions about worktop repair in Exley

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

Do you cover Exley?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Exley and the rest of Calderdale. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Can you match granite flecks?

Colour, flecks and veins are recreated by hand, for a repair that blends in.

What happens next?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Work for landlords and builders

For anyone letting property in or around Exley, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Repairs by material

Granite and stone

Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.

Solid surface

Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so scratches and burns can frequently be sanded out and refinished.

The process

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, depending on the damage, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. The area around the damage is protected.
  2. We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
  3. It’s filled and levelled with the surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal and polish it to the right sheen.

Before we arrive

  • Open a window if you can
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
