Choosing a repair company

Aftercare tips

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

  • Clean spills straight away
  • Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
  • Watch the edges with heavy pans
  • Do not let water sit on joints

Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe up spills promptly, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.

Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, because water gets in and swells the board.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll arrange it.

What worktop repair costs

Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Kirkthorpe. The price depends on:

  • The material and finish
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many areas need work

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Send photos for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

Repairs by material

Wood

Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, with burns and dents put right.

Solid surface

Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so scratches and burns can often be sanded out and refinished.

DIY kit or professional repair?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

Your questions about worktop repair in Kirkthorpe

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire worktop and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Do I need to be at home?

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

Can you repair a burn in a worktop?

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

Can you repair a chipped quartz worktop?

Yes. We match the colour and polish the repair.

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Do you charge for travel?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
