How it works

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  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.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

10 questions to ask before you book

What affects the price in Ripon

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The type of damage
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material and finish

Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

How to get a fixed price

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

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A wider photo showing the whole worktop
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Send us photos of the damage and one of the entire item, with your HG4 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Ripon questions

Do I need to clear the kitchen?

Only the area we’re working on. The rest is covered and protected.

How much does worktop repair cost in Ripon?

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your HG4 postcode.

Can you repair a chipped quartz worktop?

Yes, frequently. The repair is colour matched and polished to the quartz’s finish.

Do you cover the entire of North Yorkshire?

Everywhere in the UK, Ripon included. Travel is included in the price.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

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.

Do you charge for travel?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

How to care for the repair

To keep it looking its best:

  • Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
  • Do not knock pans against the edge
  • Always use a trivet for hot pans
  • Use a chopping board

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.

Don’t leave damage by the sink, as water can get in and cause swelling.

When we’d advise against a repair

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
  • Cracks right through stone that has moved
  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we repair

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

Landlord and trade work in Ripon

For developers and builders, we fix 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 to keep costs down.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Should you replace it?

A new worktop means taking out the damaged top, templating and fitting a replacement and reconnecting the sink and hob, and it may not match the rest of the kitchen. A repair leaves the worktop in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
