Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

What do you need from me?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Common problems we fix in Helmsley
Most worktop damage takes a second: a hot pan set straight down, or a heavy pan catching the edge. Scratches build up more slowly, from knives and grit.
People typically call us when they notice one of these:
- Snagging damage in a new kitchen
- Damage around the sink cut-out
- Burns from hot pans
- Chips in quartz or granite
What your quote should include
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Whether they match the colour on site
- How to care for the finish
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers

How to care for the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Wipe up spills quickly
- Take care with heavy pans near edges
- Don’t let water sit on joints
- Oil wooden tops regularly
Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, especially on laminate and wood.
Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, because water gets in and swells the board.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Even if you could get the same laminate, it may not match after years of light and use. A repair is matched to what you have now. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- The material and finish
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many items we do on one visit
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Something in shot to show the size
- One picture of the entire worktop
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Quartz
Quartz is tough, though edges can chip. Chips are filled with tinted resin and polished.
DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
What happens on the day
We begin by going over the job with you. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
- Burnt or loose material is cut back.
- The area is filled and shaped.
- We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
- We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.
How to prepare
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
