What a repair can’t fix

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

Worktop repair in Shibden Dale without replacing anything

A new worktop rarely matches the old one, especially in an L-shaped or long kitchen. Repairing the damage keeps your kitchen as it is. Whether it’s a damaged sink edge and scratches and knife marks, we can typically put it right, on solid surface (such as Corian), solid wood and quartz alike.

Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

How we price worktop repair

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

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How much damage there is

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Getting a price from pictures

Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • One picture of the entire worktop
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Natural light rather than flash

Most customers in Shibden Dale get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

How to care for the repair

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Don’t knock pans against the edge
  • Keep wood oiled
  • Never put hot pans down directly
  • Dry around the sink and joints

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.

Edge chips can get bigger, and water can reach the core of laminate. Repairing it early stops that.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

When to call us in Shibden Dale

Sink and hob cut-outs are weak points, so cracks and chips frequently start there.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Chips on edges and corners
  • Chips near the sink
  • Cuts and scratches in the surface
  • Snagging damage in a new kitchen

Before you book anyone

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included

10 questions to ask before you book

Should you replace it?

If the worktop is swollen by water or badly damaged along its length, replacement may be the answer. For chips, burns and scratches, repair is normally far better value. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why book with us

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

For landlords and businesses

The process

We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours for most jobs. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.

  1. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
  2. We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
  3. We fill it and level it with the worktop.
  4. The colour and pattern are built up by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed and polished to match.

Before we arrive

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

How to get a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the worktop, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
