About our worktop repair in Chorlton

You do not need a new worktop because of one mark. The damage is filled and refinished to blend into the surface around it. We regularly repair laminate, solid wood and quartz, and people most frequently call us about gouges in the surface and scratches and knife marks.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back.

Repairs by material

Laminate

Laminate is a printed surface bonded to a board. We fill damage and paint in the pattern by hand.

Wood

Timber tops can be sanded and refinished, with burns and dents put right.

Can I fix it myself?

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.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Common problems we fix in Chorlton

Most chips are on edges and corners, often when something heavy catches the edge.

Look out for any of the following:

  • Chipped corners
  • Damage from fitting or building work
  • Dents and gouges
  • Chips near the sink

What to look for in a quote

Our hiring checklist

How the visit works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. You can expect it to take a morning or an afternoon, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. First, we check the damage and the finish we need to match.
  2. Burnt or loose material is cut back.
  3. We fill and shape the damaged area.
  4. The pattern, flecks or grain are recreated.
  5. We finish it to match the sheen and leave it to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Advice

Looking after it afterwards

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Steer clear of strong cleaners
  • Keep wood oiled
  • Dry around the sink and joints
  • Do not knock pans against the edge

Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Even stone and quartz can be marked by heat.

Edge chips can get bigger, and on laminate, water can get into the core. An early repair prevents it.

Questions from Chorlton

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Do you cover the entire of Cheshire East?

Across the UK, and that includes Chorlton. Our prices are the same everywhere.

How much does worktop repair cost in Chorlton?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

What information do you need?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.

Can you price it without visiting?

Normally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

How much do I need to move?

Just clear the area around the damage. We protect the rest of the kitchen.

When a repair is not the answer

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed
  • Discolouration deep in quartz
  • Cracks right through stone that has moved

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How easy the damage is to reach

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Quotes from your photos

Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Natural light rather than flash

Most clients in Chorlton get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
