Choosing a repair company

Worktop repair in Pateley Bridge without replacing anything

A worktop repair is carried out in your kitchen, with the area around the damage covered. Most repairs take a few hours, and the worktop can be used again soon after. Typical jobs include a damaged sink edge and damage from fitting or building work, on granite & marble, solid surface (such as Corian) and laminate.

You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Why repair rather than replace?

Even if you could get the same laminate, it may not match after years of light and use. We match the repair to your worktop as it is today. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Keeping it looking good

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Keep joints and edges dry
  • Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
  • Oil wooden tops regularly
  • Always use a trivet for hot pans

Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe up spills promptly, and keep wooden tops oiled.

Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, as water can get in and cause swelling.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Pateley Bridge. The price depends on:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What the surface is made of

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Getting a price from photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • One picture of the entire worktop
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Any details about the material

If you are in Pateley Bridge and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Different materials, different repairs

Quartz

Quartz is crushed stone bound with resin. Edge chips are very common, and we fill and polish them.

Granite and stone

Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

When a repair isn’t the answer

It helps to know what we cannot do:

  • A top that moves on its units
  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
  • Through cracks in stone that is moving

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

What we work on

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

How it works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. You can expect it to take a morning or an afternoon, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. The area around the damage is protected.
  2. The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
  3. We fill it and level it with the worktop.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal and polish it to the right sheen.

How to prepare

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

How to get a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Pateley Bridge questions

How do I book?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.

Can you repair a burn in a worktop?

Often, yes. We remove the damaged surface, fill it and recreate the pattern.

How much do I need to move?

Just clear the area around the damage. We protect the rest of the kitchen.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
