About our worktop repair in York
We repair chips, burns and scratches in laminate, stone, quartz, solid surface and wooden worktops, with colour and pattern matched by hand. The worktop stays in place. If you are dealing with chips in quartz or granite and a dent from a dropped pan, we can help, on solid surface (such as Corian), granite & marble and laminate alike.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.
What a repair can’t fix
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- A top that moves on its units
- Laminate swollen by water from underneath
- Through cracks in stone that is moving
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Granite and stone
Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.
Laminate
Laminate is a printed surface bonded to a board. We fill damage and paint in the pattern by hand.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 will not last.
York: your questions answered
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
What affects the price in York
Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to York. The price depends on:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many areas need work
Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Getting a price from photos
Two or three clear photos are typically enough. Try to include:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Details of any past repairs
- A wider photo showing the entire worktop
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Email us pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in York, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Common problems we fix in York
Kitchen worktops have a hard life. Hot pans scorch, knives leave scratches, and heavy pans chip the edges.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Damage from fitting or building work
- A dent from a dropped pan
- Cuts and scratches in the surface
- Damage to a stone worktop
Before booking anyone
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- What preparation is included
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Don’t let water sit on joints
- Clean spills right away
- Take care with heavy pans near edges
- Keep wood oiled
Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe spills right away, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.
Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, as water can get in and cause swelling.
For landlords and businesses
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in York and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
