Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which generally takes a few hours. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
- We cut back any burnt or loose material.
- The area is filled and shaped.
- The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
- It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Ensure the area is dry
How to get a price
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Advice
Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best:
- Clean spills straight away
- Never put hot pans down directly
- Use a chopping board
- Watch the edges with heavy pans
Leave the repaired area free of hot or heavy items until it has cured. After that, trivets and chopping boards are your best protection.
Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, because water gets in and swells the board.
FAQs for Layerthorpe
How much do I need to move?
Only the area we’re working on. The rest is covered and protected.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
What does worktop repair cost?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your YO31 postcode.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide, so Layerthorpe is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Other services in Layerthorpe
Landlord and trade work in Layerthorpe
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in York and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
What we cannot put right
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
- Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
- A cracked stone top that is unsupported
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Quartz
- Granite & marble
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Solid wood
- Laminate
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Solid surface
Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so marks can often be sanded and refinished.
Wood
Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, with burns and dents put right.
