Our hiring checklist

Worktop repair in Land Gate without replacing anything

A new worktop rarely matches the old one, especially in an L-shaped or long kitchen. A repair leaves the kitchen untouched. We regularly repair solid surface (such as Corian), quartz and laminate, and common reasons people get in touch are damage around the sink cut-out and snagging damage in a new kitchen.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Land Gate and across Wigan.

How we price worktop repair

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Send photos for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Something in shot to show the size

For a price in Land Gate, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

When a repair isn’t the answer

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Laminate that has blown or swollen
  • Failed support under the worktop
  • A cracked stone top that’s unsupported

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

How it works

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. Allow a few hours, depending on the damage, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. First we look at the damage and what the worktop is made of.
  2. The area is cleaned and the edges of the damage prepared.
  3. A filler that suits the material goes in, and missing edges are rebuilt.
  4. We match the colour and pattern by hand.
  5. Finally we seal or finish the area to match.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Get a quote

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Wood

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

Laminate

Laminate worktops have a printed decorative layer over a board core. Chips and burns are filled and the pattern recreated.

Looking after it afterwards

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Don’t let water sit on joints
  • Take care with heavy pans near edges
  • Re-oil timber worktops
  • Use a chopping board

Keep joints and the sink edge dry, especially on laminate and wood.

Daily use can make burns and chips worse, especially near the sink. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.

Should you replace it?

An identical replacement may look different next to aged worktops. A repair is matched to what you have now. Our worktop repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Land Gate. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
