DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
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.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Northstead. The price comes down to:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material
- The colour and finish to match
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
How to get a fixed price
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Any details about the material
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Northstead, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Questions from Northstead
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Do you repair quartz?
Yes. The repair is colour matched and polished to the quartz’s finish.
Can a scorch mark be fixed?
Normally, yes. The burn is cut back, filled and patterned to match.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Do you cover the entire of North Yorkshire?
All of North Yorkshire, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.
What happens after I send pictures?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Do not knock pans against the edge
- Clean spills right away
- Always use a trivet for hot pans
- Keep wood oiled
Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, particularly with laminate and timber.
Do not leave damage by the sink, as water can get in and cause swelling.
