Worktop repair in Ashton without replacing anything

You don’t need a new worktop because of one mark. We fill and refinish the damage to blend into the surface around it. Our repair technicians work on laminate, solid wood and solid surface (such as Corian), and people most frequently call us about snagging damage in a new kitchen and knife marks.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

How to compare quotes

Questions from Ashton

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.

Do I need to be at home?

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

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Ashton.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

What do you need from me?

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

Keeping it looking good

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Chopping boards prevent scratches
  • Take care with heavy pans near edges
  • Re-oil timber worktops
  • Never put hot pans down directly

Let the repair cure for the time we give you before putting anything heavy or hot on it. After that, trivets and chopping boards protect it best.

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

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Repairing versus replacing in Ashton

A new worktop means taking out the damaged top, templating and fitting a replacement and reconnecting the sink and hob, and matching the rest of the kitchen can be hard. Repairing the damage keeps your existing worktop. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Why book with us

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

Read our prices page.

What affects the price in Ashton

Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • The material and finish
  • Access to the area
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The type of damage

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Getting a price from photos

You can take the pictures on your phone. Make sure they show:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A photo taken from further back

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

What happens on the day

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, depending on the damage, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  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. A filler that suits the material goes in, and missing edges are rebuilt.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The surface is sealed or finished to suit the worktop.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Ensure the area is dry

Advice

When we would advise against a repair

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • Cracks right through stone that has moved
  • Failed support under the worktop
  • Laminate swollen by water from underneath

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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

Landlord and trade work in Ashton

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
