Worktop repair in Sherburn

Aftercare tips

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Steer clear of strong cleaners
  • Wipe up spills quickly
  • Do not cut directly on the worktop
  • Re-oil timber worktops

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.

A burn or chip can get worse with daily use, especially near the sink. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.

Worktop repair in Sherburn, done in place

You don’t need a new worktop because of one mark. We fill and refinish the damage to blend into the surface around it. Whether it’s burns from hot pans and scratches and knife marks, we can normally put it right, on quartz, solid surface (such as Corian) and granite & marble alike.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

FAQs for Sherburn

Do you cover Sherburn?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Sherburn from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Do I need to empty the worktop?

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

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

What information do you need?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Landlord and trade work in Sherburn

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Sherburn use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Laminate

A laminate worktop is a thin decorative layer on a board. Damage is filled and the pattern painted in by hand.

Wood

Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, with burns and dents put right.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a worktop means taking out the damaged top, cutting and fitting a new one and refitting the sink and hob, and it may not match the rest of the kitchen. Repairing the damage keeps your existing worktop. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
