How we handle worktop repair in Gathurst
Different worktops need different repairs: laminate is filled and patterned, quartz and stone are filled and polished, and wood is sanded and refinished. The goal is always a repair that blends in. If you are dealing with damage around the sink cut-out and chips caused during installation, we can usually put it right.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Wigan.

What happens on the day
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- First we look at the damage and what the worktop is made of.
- The area is cleaned and the edges of the damage prepared.
- We fill with a filler suited to the material and rebuild any missing edge.
- We match the colour and pattern by hand.
- The surface is sealed or finished to suit the worktop.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

Questions from Gathurst
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first.
Can you match the pattern on my worktop?
Yes. We recreate the pattern by hand.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can you repair a chipped quartz worktop?
Yes. We repair quartz chips regularly, filled and polished to match.

What your worktop is made of matters
Solid surface
Solid surface tops are the same material all the way through, so marks can often be sanded and refinished.
Quartz
Quartz is tough, though edges can chip. Chips are filled with tinted resin and polished.
Why repair rather than replace?
An identical replacement may look different next to aged worktops. A repair is matched to what you have now. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What worktop repair costs
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material
- The colour and finish to match
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from pictures
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Something in shot to show the size
- A wider photo showing the entire worktop
- Natural light rather than flash
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the worktop, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Dry around the sink and joints
- Steer clear of strong cleaners
- Never put hot pans down directly
- Watch the edges with heavy pans
Never put hot pans straight onto the worktop. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.
Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, because water gets in and swells the board.
When to call us in Gathurst
Water around the sink can get into laminate and wood joints, which can cause swelling.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Scratches and knife marks
- Chips on edges and corners
- Chips near the sink
- Chips in quartz or granite
Questions to ask before booking
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- What happens if they find more damage
- How soon you can use it again
- Who turns up on the day
Landlord and trade work in Gathurst
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.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
