Trusted worktop repair in Heights

What we can’t put right

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • A cracked stone top that’s unsupported
  • Laminate that has blown or swollen
  • A worktop that has moved because its support has failed

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

Worktop repair in Heights without replacing anything

Burns from hot pans, chips on edges and scratches from knives are the most common worktop repairs. All are repaired in place. We regularly repair quartz, laminate and granite & marble, and the jobs we see most are cuts and scratches in the surface and chips near the sink.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Heights and across Oldham.

Heights questions

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

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

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Can you repair a chipped quartz worktop?

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

How much do I need to move?

Just near the damage. You can usually still use the rest of the kitchen.

Do you cover Heights?

We do. We send a technician to Heights for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Can you quote from photos?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Work for landlords and builders

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

How to look after the repair

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Don’t leave spills to soak in
  • Chopping boards prevent scratches
  • Keep wood oiled
  • Keep a trivet by the hob

Hot pans should always go on a trivet. Heat can mark quartz and stone as well.

Damage near the sink is worth repairing quickly, because water gets in and swells the board.

10 questions to ask before you book

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Granite and stone

Natural stone worktops chip at edges and around cut-outs. The repair is filled and polished to the stone’s finish.

Laminate

Laminate worktops have a printed decorative layer over a board core. We fill the damage and recreate the pattern.

Repairing versus replacing in Heights

A new worktop means taking out the damaged top, cutting and fitting a new one and reconnecting the sink and hob, and matching the rest of the kitchen can be hard. A repair keeps your existing worktop. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How the visit works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours, depending on the damage in most cases. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.

  1. We start by checking the damage and the worktop material.
  2. The area is cleaned and the edges of the damage prepared.
  3. We fill with a filler suited to the material and rebuild any missing edge.
  4. The colour and pattern are matched by hand.
  5. We seal or finish the surface to suit the worktop.

How to prepare

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Make sure the area is dry
