How we handle worktop repair in Chorley

You don’t need a new worktop because of one mark. The damage is filled and refinished to blend into the surface around it. If you’re dealing with chips on edges and corners and a dent from a dropped pan, we can help, whatever the material.

You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

When to call us in Chorley

Kitchen worktops have a hard life. Hot pans leave burns, knives leave scratches, and edges chip when heavy pans or tins hit them.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Chips caused during installation
  • Chipped corners
  • A dent from a dropped pan
  • Chips near the sink

What your quote should include

  • How your room will be protected
  • Who will actually do the work
  • What preparation is included
  • How long it needs to cure

10 questions to ask before booking

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

What we cannot put right

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
  • A top that moves on its units
  • Laminate that has blown or swollen

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

Materials we work on in Chorley

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

Repairing versus replacing in Chorley

Replacing a worktop means removing the old one, cutting and fitting a new one and reconnecting the sink and hob, and matching the rest of the kitchen can be hard. Repairing the damage keeps your existing worktop. Our worktop repair starts from £95. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Why book with us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures

See our prices page.

Different materials, different repairs

Quartz

Quartz is crushed stone bound with resin. We fill and polish chipped edges.

Solid surface

Solid surface materials are uniform throughout, so marks can frequently be sanded and refinished.

Work for landlords and builders

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

How it works

There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, depending on the damage, including clearing up.

  1. We protect the rest of the kitchen.
  2. We clean the damage and remove anything loose.
  3. It’s filled and levelled with the surface.
  4. We recreate the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. The repair is sealed and polished to match.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

How we price worktop repair

Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Chorley. The price depends on:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The type of damage
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Send photos for a quote

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire worktop, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Your questions about worktop repair in Chorley

Will the repair match a patterned worktop?

We match colour, flecks and veining by hand, so the repair blends into the surface.

Can you quote from photos?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Do I need to clear the kitchen?

Only the area we’re working on. We protect the rest of the kitchen.

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
