Worktop repair in Moorthorpe without replacing anything
You do not need a new worktop because of one mark. We fill and refinish the damage to blend into the surface around it. Typical jobs include chipped corners and dents and gouges, across solid wood, solid surface (such as Corian) and quartz.
Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Different materials, different repairs
Quartz
Quartz worktops are mostly stone set in resin. Edge chips are very common, and we fill and polish them.
Solid surface
Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so scratches and burns can frequently be sanded out and refinished.
Common questions in Moorthorpe
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.
Do I need to empty the worktop?
Only around the repair. You can generally still use the rest of the kitchen.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Moorthorpe.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

The process
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a few hours, depending on the damage from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and how to look after it.
- First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
- Burnt or loose material is cut back.
- The area is filled and shaped.
- We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
- We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Make sure the area is dry
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
How to get a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
Advice
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Access to the area
- How much damage there is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many items we do on one visit
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Send photos for a quote
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One picture of the whole worktop
- Something in shot to show the size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Most clients in Moorthorpe get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.

Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Wipe up spills quickly
- Always use a trivet for hot pans
- Don’t let water sit on joints
- Keep wood oiled
Let the repair cure for the time we give you before putting anything heavy or hot on it. After that, trivets and chopping boards are your best protection.
Do not leave damage by the sink, as water can get in and cause swelling.
