Worktop repair in Thirsk without replacing anything

Burns from hot pans, chips on edges and scratches from knives make up most of our worktop work. We repair them all in your kitchen. Common call-outs are for gouges in the surface and chips in quartz or granite, across granite & marble, laminate and solid surface (such as Corian).

Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Different materials, different repairs

Laminate

Laminate worktops have a printed decorative layer over a board core. We fill the damage and recreate the pattern.

Quartz

Quartz worktops are mostly stone set in resin. Edge chips are very common, and we fill and polish them to match the sheen.

Looking after it afterwards

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Keep wood oiled
  • Don’t let water sit on joints
  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
  • Wipe up spills quickly

Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.

A burn or chip can get worse with daily use particularly around the sink. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.

When to call us in Thirsk

Water around the sink can get into laminate and wood joints, and that can make them swell.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • Scratches and knife marks
  • Chips in quartz or granite
  • Burns from hot pans
  • Dents and gouges

10 questions to ask before booking

What we do, step by step

Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, depending on the damage, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
  2. We cut back any burnt or loose material.
  3. We fill and shape the damaged area.
  4. The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
  5. We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Thirsk questions

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

What information do you need?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

What happens if you find more damage?

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

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Do you come to Thirsk?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Thirsk and the rest of North Yorkshire. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Thirsk.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

How we price worktop repair

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • The material
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Thirsk. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Getting a price from photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One picture of the entire worktop

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
