How we handle worktop repair in Sandhills

Different worktops need different repairs: laminate is filled and patterned, quartz and stone are filled and polished, and wood is sanded and refinished. The goal is always a repair that blends in. Whether it’s a heat mark or burn and chips near the sink, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

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.

What we cannot put right

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

  • Cracks right through stone that has moved
  • Discolouration deep in quartz
  • Failed support under the worktop

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

What worktop repair costs

Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • How much damage there is
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material and finish
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your photos

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

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Repairs by material

Laminate

Laminate is a printed surface bonded to a board. We fill damage and paint in the pattern by hand.

Solid surface

Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so scratches and burns can often be sanded out and refinished.

Looking after it afterwards

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Do not knock pans against the edge
  • Steer clear of strong cleaners
  • Dry around the sink and joints
  • Don’t cut directly on the worktop

Leave the repaired area free of hot or heavy items until it has cured. After that, trivets and chopping boards are your best protection.

A burn or chip can get worse with daily use particularly around the sink. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.

Sandhills questions

How soon can you come?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Can you match the pattern on my worktop?

Yes. We recreate the pattern by hand so it blends in.

Can you repair a chipped quartz worktop?

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

What happens next?

How much does worktop repair cost in Sandhills?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Sandhills and the rest of Leeds. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

How much do I need to move?

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

How the visit works

We begin by going over the job with you. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. You can expect it to take a few hours, depending on the damage, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. We assess the damage and the worktop material.
  2. Next we clean up and prepare the damaged area.
  3. A filler that suits the material goes in, and missing edges are rebuilt.
  4. The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
  5. Finally we seal or finish the area to match.

  • A chipped edge
  • A damaged sink edge
  • Chips in quartz or granite

Our hiring checklist

Why repair rather than replace?

A new worktop means taking out the damaged top, templating and fitting a replacement and refitting the sink and hob, and matching the rest of the kitchen can be hard. A repair keeps your existing worktop. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
