Worktop Repair for Slingsby homes

- Repairs from £95
- A dent from a dropped pan
- Snagging damage in a new kitchen
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The type of damage
- The size and number of damaged areas
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed price
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One picture of the entire worktop
- Natural light rather than flash
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
How we handle worktop repair in Slingsby
A worktop repair is carried out in your kitchen, with the area around the damage covered. Most repairs take a few hours, and you can use the worktop again shortly afterwards. We work on solid surface (such as Corian), laminate and quartz, and people most often call us about scorch marks from pans and chips in quartz or granite.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Advice
Can I fix it myself?
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.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Honest limits
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Failed support under the worktop
- Through cracks in stone that is moving
- Laminate that has blown or swollen
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
What we work on
- Laminate
- Granite & marble
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
- Quartz
- Solid wood
Repairs by material
Solid surface
Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so scratches and burns can frequently be sanded out and refinished.
Granite and stone
Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new worktop means taking out the damaged top, templating and fitting a replacement and refitting the sink and hob, and it may not match the rest of the kitchen. Repairing the damage leaves the worktop in place. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.

Your questions about worktop repair in Slingsby
Do you repair quartz?

What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
What areas do you cover?
The entire UK, including all of North Yorkshire. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will confirm dates.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

For landlords and businesses
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
