Worktop repair in Chorley

What we do, step by step

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
  2. The damage is cleaned and any loose material removed.
  3. It’s filled and levelled with the surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. We seal and polish it to the right sheen.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

We repair chips, burns and scratches in laminate, stone, quartz, solid surface and wooden worktops, with colour and pattern matched by hand. Nothing is taken out. Our repair technicians work on laminate, solid surface (such as Corian) and solid wood, and the jobs we see most are scorch marks from pans and a damaged sink edge.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

What your worktop is made of matters

Granite and stone

Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around cut-outs. We fill and polish the repair to match the stone.

Solid surface

Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so scratches and burns can often be sanded out and refinished.

For landlords and businesses

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Chorley questions

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

Do you repair quartz?

Yes, frequently. The repair is colour-matched and polished to the quartz’s finish.

Can you match granite flecks?

Yes. We recreate the pattern by hand.

Do you charge for travel?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Do I need to empty the worktop?

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

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Is the work guaranteed?

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

Choosing a repair company

What affects the price in Chorley

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Access to the area
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Getting a price from photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Chorley, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Aftercare tips

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Keep wood oiled
  • Always use a trivet for hot pans
  • Steer clear of strong cleaners
  • Don’t knock pans against the edge

Use chopping boards and trivets, wipe spills immediately, and re-oil wooden worktops regularly.

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