Should you replace it?
Stone and quartz tops are templated and cut to fit, so replacing a section takes time and money. Repairing it is a few hours’ work. Prices start from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Worktop repair in Skitby without replacing anything
A new worktop rarely matches the old one, particularly where several lengths join. Repairing the damage keeps your kitchen as it is. We regularly repair solid wood, solid surface (such as Corian) and quartz, and people most frequently call us about chips caused during installation and gouges in the surface.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Use a chopping board
- Take care with heavy pans near edges
- Steer clear of strong cleaners
- Don’t let water sit on joints
Wipe water away from joints and around the sink, especially on laminate and wood.
Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, because water gets in and swells the board.

What worktop repair costs
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The colour and finish to match
- How many items we do on one visit
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed price
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
How the visit works
Your technician turns up when we said we would and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We assess the damage and the worktop material.
- We clean the area and prepare the edges of the damage.
- We fill with a filler suited to the material and rebuild any missing edge.
- We match the colour and pattern by hand.
- We seal or finish the surface to suit the worktop.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Getting a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.
Advice
Landlords, agents and businesses in Skitby
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
If you manage property in Skitby, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

What a repair cannot fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- Through cracks in stone that is moving
- A top that moves on its units
- Severe heat marks in quartz
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
