- Repairs from £95

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. 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 give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Worktop repair in Houghton without replacing anything
We repair worktops in place, with the area around the damage covered. Most jobs take a few hours, and you can use the worktop again shortly afterwards. We are often asked to fix a dent from a dropped pan and a chipped quartz edge, across quartz, granite & marble and solid wood.
Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What affects the price in Houghton
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Doing more than one item at once
- What kind of damage it is
- How much damage there is
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. It helps if you send:
- Details of any past repairs
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Where you are, by postcode
- A wider photo showing the whole worktop
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire worktop, we can price the job without visiting.

Advice
Landlords, agents and businesses in Houghton
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in East Riding of Yorkshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Re-oil timber worktops
- Keep joints and edges dry
- Watch the edges with heavy pans
- Always use a trivet for hot pans
Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.
Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, because water gets in and swells the board.
Repairs by material
Quartz
Quartz is tough, though edges can chip. We fill chips with a tinted resin and polish them.
Wood
Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, with burns and dents put right.
