Common questions in Saxelbye
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Do I need to empty the worktop?
Only around the repair. The rest of the kitchen stays usable.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
What does worktop repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Take care with heavy pans near edges
- Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
- Keep a trivet by the hob
- Do not cut directly on the worktop
Keep joints and the sink edge dry, particularly with laminate and timber.
Daily use can make burns and chips worse, especially near the sink. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.
Repairing versus replacing in Saxelbye
Even a single new length of worktop means templating, cutting and refitting the sink and hob. A repair is a few hours with everything left in place. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

What happens on the day
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, depending on the damage, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We protect the rest of the kitchen.
- We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
- It’s filled and levelled with the surface.
- The colour and pattern are built up by hand.
- We seal and polish it to the right sheen.
Preparing for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Open a window if you can
Getting a price
Upload photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your LE14 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Work for landlords and builders
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
How we price worktop repair
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- The material and finish
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How hard the colour is to match
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your pictures
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One picture of the whole worktop
- Natural light rather than flash
- One sharp close-up of the damage
To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
