What we can’t put right

Worktop repair at your home in Lythe

A new worktop rarely matches the old one, especially in an L-shaped or long kitchen. A repair leaves the kitchen untouched. Common call-outs are for chips near the sink and chips caused during installation, on solid wood, solid surface (such as Corian) and quartz.

Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in North Yorkshire.

How we price worktop repair

Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • The type of damage
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material
  • How hard the colour is to match

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Getting a price from pictures

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Where you are, by postcode

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Different materials, different repairs

Wood

Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, and burns and dents repaired.

Granite and stone

Granite and stone chip at edges and cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.

What we do, step by step

Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
  2. We cut back any burnt or loose material.
  3. The area is filled and shaped.
  4. We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
  5. We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Clear the area around the damage

Getting a price

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Advice

Looking after it afterwards

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Watch the edges with heavy pans
  • Always use a trivet for hot pans
  • Wipe up spills quickly
  • Use a chopping board

Keep joints and the sink edge dry, especially on laminate and wood.

A chip on an edge can grow, and water can reach the core of laminate. Repairing it early stops that.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Lythe

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

If you manage property in Lythe, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

FAQs for Lythe

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Are there extra charges for Lythe?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can a quartz edge be fixed?

Yes. Chips on edges and around the sink are very common repairs, matched and polished.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

What happens after I send photos?

We come back with a fixed quote. There’s no obligation to book.
