10 questions to ask before booking

What happens on the day

There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a few hours, tidy-up included.

  1. First we look at the damage and what the worktop is made of.
  2. We clean the area and prepare the edges of the damage.
  3. We fill with a filler suited to the material and rebuild any missing edge.
  4. The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
  5. We seal or finish the surface to suit the worktop.

How to prepare

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Open a window if you can

How to get a price

Upload a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Sowerby, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Questions from Sowerby

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can you quote from photos?

Typically, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

How much do I need to move?

Only the area we’re working on. We protect the rest of the kitchen.

Will the repair match a patterned worktop?

Yes. We recreate the pattern by hand.

Do you cover Sowerby?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Sowerby. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Do you cover the whole of North Yorkshire?

The entire UK, including all of North Yorkshire. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

Aftercare tips

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Watch the edges with heavy pans
  • Don’t leave spills to soak in
  • Don’t cut directly on the worktop
  • Keep a trivet by the hob

Keep joints and the sink edge dry, particularly with laminate and timber.

Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, as water can get in and cause swelling.

Repair or replace in Sowerby?

If the worktop is swollen by water or badly damaged along its length, replacement may be the answer. For chips, burns and scratches, a repair is the better value. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Sowerby. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why us?

  • Everything repaired in place
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
