Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Ancoats. The price comes down to:
- How many areas need work
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material and finish
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- One picture of the whole worktop
- Natural light rather than flash
- The material, if you know it
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.
About our worktop repair in Ancoats
A new worktop rarely matches the old one, particularly where several lengths join. Repairing the damage keeps your kitchen as it is. We work on laminate, solid surface (such as Corian) and solid wood, and the jobs we see most are cuts and scratches in the surface and damage to a stone worktop.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Ancoats
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Avoid harsh chemicals on stone and quartz
- Don’t let water sit on joints
- Take care with heavy pans near edges
- Keep a trivet by the hob
Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe up spills promptly, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.
A chip on an edge can grow, and on laminate, water can get into the core. Repairing it early stops that.
DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper 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, a professional repair is worth it.

How the visit works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which generally takes a few hours, depending on the damage. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
- Burnt or loose material is cut back.
- The area is filled and shaped.
- We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
- It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Point us to the nearest place to park
How to get a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the worktop, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Related advice
When a repair isn’t the answer
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Discolouration deep in quartz
- Laminate that has blown or swollen
- Failed support under the worktop
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Granite & marble
- Quartz
- Laminate
- Solid wood
- Solid surface (such as Corian)
Should you replace it?
Replacing a worktop means taking out the damaged top, cutting and fitting a new one and reconnecting the sink and hob, and it may not match the rest of the kitchen. A repair keeps your existing worktop. Our worktop repair starts from £95. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
