Worktop repair in Hungate without replacing anything
Burns from hot pans, chips on edges and scratches from knives make up most of our worktop work. We repair them all in your kitchen. Our repair technicians work on solid surface (such as Corian), granite & marble and laminate, and the jobs we see most are damage to a stone worktop and cuts and scratches in the surface.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in York.

Different materials, different repairs
Quartz
Quartz is crushed stone bound with resin. Edge chips are very common, and we fill and polish them.
Granite and stone
Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.

When a repair isn’t the answer
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Laminate swollen by water from underneath
- Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
- Through cracks in stone that is moving
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Granite & marble
- Solid wood
- Laminate
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Quartz
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Chopping boards prevent scratches
- Oil wooden tops regularly
- Always use a trivet for hot pans
- Do not knock pans against the edge
Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe spills immediately, and keep wooden tops oiled.
A chip on an edge can grow, and water can reach the core of laminate. An early repair prevents it.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.
Landlord and trade work in Hungate
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

What else we do in Hungate
How we price worktop repair
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many areas need work
- How many items we do on one visit
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Quotes from your photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Where you are, by postcode
- Something in shot to show the size
- One picture of the whole worktop
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
What we do, step by step
Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon in most cases. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- First we look at the damage and what the worktop is made of.
- The area is cleaned and the edges of the damage prepared.
- We fill with a filler suited to the material and rebuild any missing edge.
- The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
- Finally we seal or finish the area to match.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
Getting a price
To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.
