Common problems we fix in Temple Sowerby
The worst damage frequently happens in a moment: a hot pan put down without a trivet, or a heavy pan knocked against the edge. Scratches build up more slowly, from knives and grit.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Scorch marks from pans
- Chips in quartz or granite
- A chipped edge
- A dent from a dropped pan
What your quote should include
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Who will actually do the work
- How the colour is matched
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
Landlords, agents and businesses in Temple Sowerby
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.
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. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What your worktop is made of matters
Solid surface
Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so marks can frequently be sanded and refinished.
Wood
Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, and burns and dents repaired.
Why repair rather than replace?
Even if you could get the same laminate, it may not match after years of light and use. We match the repair to your worktop as it is today. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Temple Sowerby. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The colour and finish to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The size and number of damaged areas
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Getting a price from pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any details about the material
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- One picture of the whole worktop
For a price in Temple Sowerby, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
