Worktop repair for Flaxby homes

About our worktop repair in Flaxby

Different worktops need different repairs: we fill and pattern laminate, fill and polish quartz and stone, and sand and refinish wood. The goal is always a repair that blends in. Typical jobs include a dent from a dropped pan and damage around the sink cut-out, on quartz, granite & marble and solid surface (such as Corian).

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

When to call us in Flaxby

Kitchen worktops have a hard life. Hot pans scorch, knives cut, and edges chip when heavy pans or tins hit them.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • Scorch marks from pans
  • Scratches and knife marks
  • Chips on edges and corners
  • Damage to a stone worktop

Our hiring checklist

Repairs by material

Granite and stone

Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.

Solid surface

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

Repairing versus replacing in Flaxby

Replacing a worktop means taking out the damaged top, 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. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Questions from Flaxby

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working.

What does worktop repair cost?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across North Yorkshire.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

How much do I need to move?

Just near the damage. The rest of the kitchen stays usable.

Are there extra charges for Flaxby?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

What we do, step by step

We begin by going over the job with you. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. You can expect it to take a few hours, depending on the damage, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
  2. The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
  3. We fill it and level it with the worktop.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal and polish it to the right sheen.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

How we price worktop repair

Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • The material
  • The type of damage
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from photos

You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.

Honest limits

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Failed support under the worktop
  • Through cracks in stone that is moving
  • Discolouration deep in quartz

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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.

For landlords and businesses

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
