How to care for the repair

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Watch the edges with heavy pans
  • Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
  • Keep a trivet by the hob
  • Don’t cut directly on the worktop

Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe spills straight away, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.

A burn or chip can get worse with daily use, especially near the sink. Repairing it sooner keeps the job smaller.

Common problems we fix in York

Most worktop damage takes a second: a hot pan set straight down, or a heavy pan catching the edge. Scratches build up gradually from knives and grit.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • Damage around the sink cut-out
  • Damage to a stone worktop
  • Snagging damage in a new kitchen
  • Cuts and scratches in the surface

10 questions to ask before you book

The process

Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Allow a few hours. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. First we look at the damage and what the worktop is made of.
  2. The area is cleaned and the edges of the damage prepared.
  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. Finally we seal or finish the area to match.

How to prepare

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Work for landlords and builders

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

What we cannot put right

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
  • A cracked stone top that’s unsupported
  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

FAQs for York

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Do you work in York?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to York for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Can a scorch mark be fixed?

Frequently, yes. The burn is cut back, filled and patterned to match.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Do I need to empty the worktop?

Only the area we’re working on. The rest is covered and protected.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
