Honest limits

We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Cracks right through stone that has moved
  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

Surfaces we repair

  • Solid wood
  • Quartz
  • Solid surface (such as Corian)
  • Granite & marble
  • Laminate

Your questions about worktop repair in Whenby

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.

Will the repair match a patterned worktop?

We match colour, flecks and veining by hand, for a repair that blends in.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Do you come to Whenby?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Whenby for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

What happens next?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Whenby. The price depends on:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The type of damage
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many items we do on one visit

Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

How to get a fixed quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Any details about the material
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

How to care for the repair

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Never put hot pans down directly
  • Use pH-neutral cleaners on stone
  • Clean spills straight away
  • Watch the edges with heavy pans

Keep joints and the sink edge dry, especially on laminate and wood.

Edge chips can get bigger, and on laminate, water can get into the core. Repairing it early stops that.

How it works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a few hours, depending on the damage for most jobs. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. The area around the damage is protected.
  2. The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
  3. It’s filled and levelled with the surface.
  4. The colour and pattern are built up by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed and polished to match.

Before we arrive

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

How to get a price

Advice

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
