Worktop repair in Selby, done in place

Each type of worktop needs a different approach: 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. Our technicians work on quartz, granite & marble and solid surface (such as Corian), and people most often call us about chips near the sink and dents and gouges.

Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee.

Aftercare tips

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Don’t let water sit on joints
  • Never put hot pans down directly
  • Keep wood oiled
  • Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz

Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe up spills promptly, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.

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

How it works

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

  1. We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
  2. Burnt or loose material is cut back.
  3. The area is filled and shaped.
  4. The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
  5. It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Clear the area around the damage

When to call us in Selby

Worktops take more punishment than anything else in the kitchen. Hot pans leave burns, knives leave scratches, and heavy pans chip the edges.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • Chips caused during installation
  • Chips near the sink
  • A dent from a dropped pan
  • Burns from hot pans

Questions to ask before booking

  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • What preparation is included

10 questions to ask before you book

Your questions about worktop repair in Selby

Do you cover the whole of North Yorkshire?

The whole UK, including all of North Yorkshire. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Do I need to clear the kitchen?

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

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Different materials, different repairs

Granite and stone

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

Quartz

Quartz is tough, though edges can chip. We fill chips with a tinted resin and polish them.

What worktop repair costs

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What the surface is made of

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.

Getting a price from photos

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The material, if you know it

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

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.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

What a repair can’t fix

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
  • Severe heat marks in quartz
  • A cracked stone top that is unsupported

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

What we work on

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