What to look for in a quote
- When it can be used again
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Whether they match the colour on site
- How to care for the finish
Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Oil wooden tops regularly
- Take care with heavy pans near edges
- Wipe up spills quickly
- Keep joints and edges dry
Leave the repaired area free of hot or heavy items until it has cured. After that, trivets and chopping boards are your best protection.
Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, because water gets in and swells the board.

Honest limits
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Water-swollen laminate
- Severe heat marks in quartz
- Failed support under the worktop
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Repairing versus replacing in Sherburn
If the worktop is swollen by water or badly damaged along its length, replacement may be the answer. For chips, burns and scratches, a repair is the better value. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. 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.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
