- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Why repair rather than replace?
A new worktop means taking out the damaged top, cutting and fitting a new one and refitting the sink and hob, and matching the rest of the kitchen can be hard. A repair leaves the worktop in place. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Tang Hall. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
How we price worktop repair
Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Tang Hall. The price depends on:
- How many areas need work
- The material
- The type of damage
- The colour and finish to match
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
How to get a fixed price
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Any details about the material
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
FAQs for Tang Hall

Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.
Do you cover the whole of York?
We work UK-wide, so Tang Hall is covered. Prices do not change with location.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.
Can you match granite flecks?
Yes, the pattern is built up by hand so it blends in.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
When we would advise against a repair
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Water-swollen laminate
- Severe heat marks in quartz
- A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
Materials we repair
- Granite & marble
- Quartz
- Laminate
- Solid wood
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Chopping boards prevent scratches
- Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
- Take care with heavy pans near edges
- Oil wooden tops regularly
Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.
A chip on an edge can grow, and on laminate, water can get into the core. An early repair prevents it.
