Common questions in Sleapshyde
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Can you price it without visiting?
Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Will the repair match a patterned worktop?
We match colour, flecks and veining by hand, so the repair blends into the surface.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
How do I book?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Do you charge for travel?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
What happens next?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
What your worktop is made of matters
Wood
Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, and burns and dents repaired.
Quartz
Quartz is hard, but its edges are brittle. We fill chips with a tinted resin and polish them.

The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How it works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. You can expect it to take a few hours, depending on the damage, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
- Burnt or loose material is cut back.
- We fill and shape the damaged area.
- The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
- We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.
Before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Open a window if you can
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Ask for a price
Most clients in Sleapshyde get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Advice
When we would advise against a repair
Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:
- Water-swollen laminate
- Discolouration deep in quartz
- A top that moves on its units
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Quartz
- Granite & marble
- Solid wood
- Laminate
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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 work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

What else we do in Sleapshyde
How we price worktop repair
Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Sleapshyde. The price reflects:
- The material
- Access to the area
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
Send pictures for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Any details about the material
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.
Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Keep a trivet by the hob
- Clean spills right away
- Oil wooden tops regularly
- Do not let water sit on 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 protect it best.
A chip on an edge can grow, and on laminate, water can get into the core. An early repair prevents it.
