Materials and what they mean for the repair

Quartz

Quartz is tough, though edges can chip. Chips are filled with tinted resin and polished.

Wood

Wooden worktops can be sanded, filled and re-oiled, with burns and dents put right.

When to call us in Gregson Lane

Water around the sink can get into laminate and wood joints, which can cause swelling.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • Scratches and knife marks
  • Chips caused during installation
  • Chips on edges and corners
  • Damage around the sink cut-out

Before you book anyone

  • How long it needs to cure
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • How your room will be protected

Our hiring checklist

What a repair can’t fix

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Deep heat discolouration in quartz, which may not fully disappear
  • A top that moves on its units
  • Cracks right through stone that has moved

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we repair

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

How we price worktop repair

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Access to the area
  • The type of damage
  • The size and number of damaged areas

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed quote

You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A wider photo showing the entire worktop
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your PR5 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

The process

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which generally takes a few hours. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We look at the damage and the worktop’s finish.
  2. We cut back any burnt or loose material.
  3. We fill and shape the damaged area.
  4. We recreate the pattern, flecks or grain.
  5. It’s finished to the same sheen and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

How to get a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the worktop, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

For landlords and businesses

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Lancashire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Why repair rather than replace?

If the worktop is swollen by water or badly damaged along its length, replacement may be the answer. For chips, burns and scratches, repair is usually far better value. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book.

Why us?

  • Everything repaired in place
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

Common questions in Gregson Lane

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK. Prices do not change with location.

Can a scorch mark be fixed?

Often, yes. We remove the damaged surface, fill it and recreate the pattern.
