DIY kit or professional repair?

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.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

What worktop repair costs

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Otley. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Quotes from your photos

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • One picture of the entire worktop
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire worktop, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

How to look after the repair

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Keep a trivet by the hob
  • Dry around the sink and joints
  • Don’t knock pans against the edge
  • Clean spills right away

Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe spills right away, and keep wooden tops oiled.

Daily use can make burns and chips worse particularly around the sink. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.

What happens on the day

You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. First we look at the damage and what the worktop is made of.
  2. We clean the area and prepare the edges of the damage.
  3. We fill the damage with a suitable filler and build up any lost edge.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal or finish the area to match.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Getting a price

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

For landlords and businesses

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

What we are called out for in Otley

The worst damage frequently happens in a moment: a hot pan put down without a trivet, or a heavy pan knocked against the edge. Scratches build up gradually from knives and grit.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Snagging damage in a new kitchen
  • Damage around the sink cut-out
  • A heat mark or burn
  • Cuts and scratches in the surface

Comparing quotes

  • How soon you can use it again
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • How changes to the job are handled

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Laminate

Laminate worktops have a printed decorative layer over a board core. We fill the damage and recreate the pattern by hand.

Wood

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

When a repair isn’t the answer

A repair isn’t right for every job, including:

  • Through cracks in stone that is moving
  • A top that moves on its units
  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

What we work on

  • Solid wood
  • Solid surface (such as Corian)
  • Granite & marble
  • Laminate
  • Quartz
