DIY repairs versus a professional job

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 often lifts.

How we price worktop repair

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • Access to the area
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material
  • The type of damage

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

How to get a fixed quote

You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Any details about the material

Email us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Kilton Thorpe, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Kilton Thorpe questions

Can you match the pattern on my worktop?

Yes, the pattern is built up by hand so it blends in.

Is a burnt worktop repairable?

Typically, yes. The burn is cut back, filled and patterned to match.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Can you quote from pictures?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

What do you need from me?

Looking after it afterwards

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Take care with heavy pans near edges
  • Never put hot pans down directly
  • Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
  • Dry around the sink and joints

Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.

Edge chips can get bigger, and water can reach the core of laminate. Repairing it early stops that.

The process

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. First we look at the damage and what the worktop is made of.
  2. The area is cleaned and the edges of the damage prepared.
  3. We fill the damage with a suitable filler and build up any lost edge.
  4. The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
  5. We seal or finish the surface to suit the worktop.

Preparing for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Ask for a price

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

What your worktop is made of matters

Quartz

Quartz worktops are mostly stone set in resin. We fill and polish chipped edges to match the sheen.

Granite and stone

Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Kilton Thorpe

Letting agents often send us pictures 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.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Kilton Thorpe as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
