Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing even one length of worktop means templating, cutting, fitting and frequently a new sink and hob connection. A repair is a few hours with everything left in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Common questions in Horse Race End
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Do you cover Horse Race End?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Horse Race End and the rest of Wakefield. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Do you repair quartz?
Yes. We match the colour and polish the repair.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.
Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Horse Race End as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
What we can’t put right
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Laminate that has blown or swollen
- A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
- Discolouration deep in quartz
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Oil wooden tops regularly
- Always use a trivet for hot pans
- Take care with heavy pans near edges
- Keep joints and edges dry
Keep joints and the sink edge dry, particularly with laminate and timber.
A burn or chip can get worse with daily use, especially near the sink. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.

The process
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. You can expect it to take a few hours.
- First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
- We cut back any burnt or loose material.
- We fill and shape the damaged area.
- The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
- It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
